Understanding Scoliosis & Kyphosis Treatment in Indore
Scoliosis and kyphosis are two common spinal deformities. Scoliosis is a sideways (lateral) curve of the spine, while kyphosis is an excessive forward rounding of the upper back, sometimes described as a hunched posture. Both can occur in children, adolescents, or adults, and both range from mild and harmless to severe curves that affect comfort, posture, and — rarely — breathing.
Treatment is tailored to the type and size of the curve, the patient's age, and whether the deformity is getting worse.
Dr. Dwivedi's Approach
Dr. Ashish Kumar Dwivedi evaluates each spinal deformity with full-spine imaging to measure the curve and check for progression. Many cases are managed without surgery — through monitoring, physiotherapy, and bracing where appropriate. When a curve is large, progressing, or causing significant problems, modern corrective surgery with intraoperative neuro-monitoring is used to realign and stabilise the spine safely.
Symptoms & Warning Signs
An evaluation is worthwhile if you notice:
- An abnormal forward rounding of the upper back (kyphosis)
- Uneven shoulders, waist, or hips (scoliosis)
- A visibly curved or leaning posture
- Back pain, stiffness, or fatigue
- A curve that appears to be increasing over time
- In severe deformity, reduced stamina or breathing difficulty
Treatment Options & What to Expect
Management depends on the curve. Mild deformities are often observed and supported with physiotherapy; bracing may be advised in growing children to limit progression. For severe or progressing curves, corrective surgery realigns and stabilises the spine using modern instrumentation, with continuous nerve monitoring to protect the spinal cord. Dr. Dwivedi explains which approach fits each patient and why.
Recovery & Aftercare
Non-surgical patients are followed with regular imaging to ensure the curve stays stable. After corrective surgery, recovery is gradual and supervised, with physiotherapy restoring strength and posture over weeks to months. Regular follow-up tracks long-term spine health.
