Scoliosis: Causes, Signs & Treatment | Explained by Renowned Spine Surgeon | CK Birla Hospital

Описание: 0:16 What is Scoliosis?
0:17 Scoliosis—a condition in which the spine develops a sideways curve, and the shoulders are abnormally aligned.
0:40 Scoliosis affects adolescent girls and is usually noticed between ages 9 and 15.
1:01 Causes of Scoliosis are not fully understood but may include:
1:05 - Genetic factors
1:11 Effects of Scoliosis: It can cause cosmetic deformity, affect body image, and disrupt spinal balance in adolescents.
1:38 Symptoms: Scoliosis may not cause noticeable symptoms in the beginning, such as back pain.
1:44 However, if the condition progresses with age, especially into middle or older adulthood, this abnormal curvature can lead to accelerated wear and tear of the spine.
1:54 Complications: This may result in degenerative spinal disorders, including:
1:56 - Back pain
1:58 - Sciatica
1:59 - Significant interference with daily life activities
2:20 Parents should closely observe their children for any abnormal shoulder tilt.
2:30 Leaning to one side is not by choice — it occurs due to the spinal curvature caused by scoliosis.
2:48 If scoliosis develops, there is no need to panic.
2:53 It is a fairly common and treatable disorder today.
3:03 The main challenge is identifying severe scoliosis.
3:07 It is also important to determine if the child has physically matured and if the spine is strong enough to tolerate surgical treatment.
3:22 Surgical Treatment: Scoliosis can be treated surgically, where the surgeon places screws and rods to align the spine.
