Advanced and Affordable Scoliosis Treatment in India

Overview: Scoliosis Treatment

The human body is considered to be a very complex and a composite machination housing the best and the most intricate system of organs connected by an even more sophisticated neural network.

The bones of the human body are formed in such a way that they have adequate space for each organ while retaining the strength and the vigor to maintain the body in Peak conditions. The bones are the chassis that make our body stronger than rocks.

Scoliosis is a medical condition in which a person’s spine or the backbone is curved sideways forming an ‘S’ or a ‘C’ shaped the abnormal structure of the spinal column. The most common onset of this disorder usually happens between the ages of 10 to 20 years.

In some cases, the curve associated with scoliosis is minor and does not increase much with time, while in other cases the curve might increase with time. Typically, a mild scoliosis may not cause many problems, whereas a person suffering from severe scoliosis may face problems like difficulty in walking, standing or even breathing as the constriction of space will make it difficult for the lungs to function properly.

The cause for scoliosis is mostly unknown hence the reason why this disorder is sometimes referred to as idiopathic (unknown) scoliosis.

The best benefit of having this procedure done in India is that the scoliosis treatment cost in India is very less in comparison to that of the developed nations.

India has been gaining fame recently for being the best destination to undergo any type of medical procedure. The medical technology in India is very advanced with the latest of technologies to utilize at anyone leisure.

The surgeons in India are also famed for being immensely experienced and for being the best in their respective disciplines with having performed complex and sophisticated procedures in countries like Canada, USA, Netherlands, Switzerland, UK, France, Germany and many more.

Anyone can avail affordable scoliosis treatment in India with the most advanced technology and experienced surgeons and bear an expense of half of what it would usually be in western countries.

The treatment for scoliosis is usually determined on the basis of a couple of factors like the age and sex of the patient, the severity and curve of the disorder and location of scoliosis as well. These treatments may range from traditional non-surgical methods to surgery options for spinal correction. Some of the most common treatment procedures for scoliosis are:

• Casting: Casting is used in infants to help the infant’s spine to get back to its normal shape. This cast is worn on the outside and worn at all times. As the baby is growing rapidly, the cast needs to be changed regularly. The cast may be made up of Plaster of Paris (POP).

• Braces: If the patient has mild to moderate level of scoliosis then the doctor may recommend braces since the bones are still growing. This will help in preventing further curving of the spine but it may not cure or reverse the already present curve. Braces are worn usually both in morning and night as the longer wear time increases the brace’s effectiveness.

• Surgical Intervention: A typical scoliosis usually progresses with time causing further problems in the spinal column and the daily living of the patient. In such cases, the doctors might suggest for the child to undergo surgery for the correction of the deformity.

The rapid progression of scoliosis in a young child can be stalled by installing growth rods which will adjust its length with the child’s growth. This growth rod is usually attached to the top and bottom of the spinal curve and is lengthened every six months.
