Scoliosis Treatment in Mumbai
Scoliosis is a condition where the spine curves sideways into a C‑ or S‑shaped pattern instead of maintaining its usual straight alignment, which can affect posture and comfort in people of all ages. Many individuals first notice a slight lean, uneven shoulders, or changes in how their clothes fit, and if the curve becomes more pronounced, it can lead to back pain or difficulty with movement. Early evaluation and personalized care help people manage symptoms effectively, and we offer expert scoliosis treatment in Mumbai to reduce discomfort, improve posture, and support long‑term spinal health.
What Is Scoliosis?
Scoliosis is a spinal condition where the backbone curves sideways, often in a C‑shaped or S‑shaped pattern instead of a straight line. The curve is typically measured on an X‑ray, and a curvature of 10 degrees or more is considered scoliosis. In many cases, the exact cause is unknown a form called idiopathic scoliosis particularly in adolescents. In other cases, scoliosis may result from congenital bone abnormalities, neuromuscular conditions, or degenerative changes in the spine.
Symptoms of Spinal Stenosis
Back or neck pain – Often dull or aching, and may worsen with standing or walking.
Numbness or tingling – Commonly felt in the arms, hands, legs, or feet.
Weakness in limbs – You may notice difficulty lifting objects, walking, or maintaining balance.
Pain that radiates – Pain may spread from the spine into the arms or legs (for example, sciatica).
Difficulty walking or standing for long periods – Symptoms often improve when sitting or bending forward.
