A curved spine, also known as spinal curvature or spinal deformity, can affect posture, mobility, and quality of life. Whether it’s a C-shaped spine, S-shaped spine, or progressive vertebral curvature, scoliosis often begins subtly but can worsen over time if left untreated.
At Curis Life Multi-Specialty Clinic in Andheri West, we provide comprehensive diagnosis and management for scoliosis across all age groups—from children to adults. Our team, led by an Expert Spine Surgeon, uses advanced evaluation methods and personalized treatment plans to help realign the spine, reduce discomfort, and improve long-term spinal health.
What Is Scoliosis?
Scoliosis is a condition where the spine curves sideways, typically more than 10 degrees, forming a C-shaped or S-shaped curve. It can affect different parts of the spine and vary in severity.Types of Scoliosis:
- Idiopathic scoliosis – most common in adolescents
- Congenital scoliosis – due to birth defects in vertebrae
- Degenerative scoliosis – develops in adults due to aging or arthritis
- Neuromuscular scoliosis – linked to neurological or muscular disorders
- Structural scoliosis – permanent curvature
- Nonstructural scoliosis – temporary or posture-related
- Kyphoscoliosis – includes forward rounding of the spine
- Flatback syndrome – reduced normal curve leading to forward-leaning posture
Symptoms of Scoliosis
Signs of scoliosis can be subtle at first and may include:- Uneven shoulders or waistline
- One shoulder blade more prominent than the other
- Uneven hips or legs
- Tilted rib cage
- Back pain or stiffness
- Spinal misalignment or visible curve in posture
- Scoliosis pain in adults
- Limited flexibility or range of motion
- Visible spine twisting or rotation
Causes and Risk Factors
Scoliosis may arise from various causes:- Unknown (idiopathic), especially in adolescents
