What is Scoliosis?
What is Scoliosis?
A normal spine, when viewed from behind, appears straight. In scoliosis, the spine curves abnormally to the side, forming an “S” or “C” shape rather than a straight line.
Scoliosis can affect the spine in any of its three major sections: cervical spine (neck), thoracic spine (upper back region) or lumbar spine (lower back).
Types of Scoliosis
Idiopathic scoliosis: The cause or origin of idiopathic scoliosis is unknown. This is the most common type of scoliosis. It is diagnosed most often in teenagers (known as adolescent idiopathic scoliosis).
Congenital scoliosis: In congenital scoliosis, bones in the spine are abnormally curved sideways at birth. It results from embryological malformation of one or more vertebrae.
Neuromuscular scoliosis: This kind of scoliosis is secondary to neurological or muscular diseases. This includes scoliosis associated with cerebral palsy, spinal cord trauma, muscular dystrophy, spinal muscular atrophy and spina bifida.
Causes and Risk factors of Scoliosis
Causes and Risk factors of Scoliosis
- Birth defects such as spina bifida.
- Family history.
- Genetic disorders such as muscular dystrophy.
- Neurological conditions such as cerebral palsy.
- Spinal injuries or infections.
Symptoms of Scoliosis
Scoliosis can be mild and have little impact on your everyday activities or severe, leading to chronic pain and mobility issues.
The symptoms of Scoliosis may include:
- Visible spinal curvature
- Shoulders are uneven
- Head is not centered directly above the pelvis
- One or both hips are raised or unusually high
- Rib cages are at different heights
- Waist is uneven
- Unusual appearance or texture of the skin overlying the spine changes (dimples, hairy patches, color abnormalities)
- Back pain
- Legs asymmetry
- Abnormal walking pattern
Diagnosis of Scoliosis
Diagnosis of Scoliosis
At SGVP Holistic Hospital, our Scoliosis experts make the diagnosis first by a thorough physical examination , which is then followed by radiographic tests (X-ray, CT scan or MRI) deemed necessary.
Our physical examination procedure includes visual inspection and Adam’s Forward Bend Test. During this test, the patient leans forward with his or her feet together and bends 90 degrees at the waist. From this angle, any asymmetry of the trunk or any abnormal spinal curvatures can easily be detected by the examiner.
The radiographic tests that we recommend are required for an accurate diagnosis and for quantifying the severity.
- X-ray: Application of radiation to produce a film or picture of a part of the body can show the structure of the vertebrae and the outline of the joints. X-rays of the spine are obtained to search for other potential causes of pain, i.e. infections, fractures, deformities, etc.
- Computed tomography scan (CT or CAT scan): A diagnostic image created after a computer reads X-rays; can show the shape and size of the spinal canal, its contents and the structures around it.
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): A diagnostic test that produces three-dimensional images of body structures using powerful magnets and computer technology. It can show the spinal cord, nerve roots and surrounding areas, as well as enlargement, degeneration and deformities.
Treatment Procedure for Scoliosis at SGVP Holistic Hospital in Ahmedabad
- Spinal maturity
- Degree and extent of curvature of the spine
- Location of curve
- Possibility of curve progression
After these factors are assessed, we recommend the following treatment options:
Non-surgical treatment for Scoliosis include Bracing and Pain management.
Bracing
Braces are only effective in patients who have not reached skeletal maturity. If the child is still growing and his or her curve is between 25 degrees and 40 degrees, a brace may be recommended to prevent the curve from progressing.
There are several different types of braces available and are prescribed as per the doctor's assessment of the spine. For optimal effectiveness, the brace should be checked regularly to assure a proper fit and may need to be worn 16 to 23 hours every day until growth stops.
Pain management
Pain due to scoliosis can be treated with Hydrotherapy, Massage therapy, Pain injections and pain medications, and Physiotherapy (strengthening and flexibility exercises).
We recommend surgery for children only when the spinal curve is greater than 40 degrees and there are signs of progression, and for adults when the spinal curve is greater than 50 degrees and the patient has nerve damage to their legs and/or is experiencing bowel or bladder symptoms.
Scoliosis surgery can be done using an anterior approach (through the front) or a posterior approach (through the back) depending on the particular case.
The different Scoliosis surgeries performed at SGVP Holistic Hospital include:
- Decompressive laminectomy: The laminae of the vertebrae are removed to create more space for the nerves. This removes pressure on nerves that may be squeezed or irritated in between the vertebrae.
- Spinal fusion surgery: A spinal fusion with or without spinal instrumentation is often recommended when scoliosis and spinal stenosis are present. Various devices (like screws or rods) may be used to enhance fusion and support unstable areas of the spine.
Minimally invasive surgery (MIS): Fusion can sometimes be performed via smaller incisions through MIS. The use of advanced fluoroscopy (X-ray imaging during surgery) and endoscopy (camera technology) has improved the accuracy of incisions and hardware placement, minimizing tissue trauma while enabling a MIS approach.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is scoliosis treatment only necessary for children or can adults benefit too?
Scoliosis can affect both children and adults. While early treatment in children can prevent curve progression, adults with scoliosis often benefit from pain management, physiotherapy, and surgical correction when necessary.
What are the risks of untreated scoliosis in the long term?
Untreated scoliosis may lead to chronic back pain, reduced lung function, posture imbalance, and worsening spinal curvature. Early diagnosis and treatment help prevent these complications and improve quality of life.
How important is early detection of Scoliosis?
Early detection is important, especially in children and teens. Screening often begins with a visual and physical exam, including a forward-bending test, followed by imaging such as X-rays or MRI scans.
When should I see a doctor about my scoliosis symptoms?
You should see a doctor if you notice signs of scoliosis in yourself or your child, have persistent or worsening back pain or if your mobility or breathing is affected.
Can severe Scoliosis be treated at SGVP Holistic Hospital?
Yes, severe scoliosis can be effectively treated at SGVP Hospital. The hospital offers advanced diagnostic tools, minimally invasive surgical options, and expert spine surgeons specializing in complex scoliosis correction. Each treatment plan is personalized to ensure the best possible outcomes for patients with severe spinal deformities.
