Spine Surgery

Asked for Male, 22 years

Asking for my brother 17 years old. We noticed his shoulder somewhat uneven. X-rays showed S-shaped spine. We have been observing his curve for about two months and it is increasing. The doctor told that surgery is to be done only when the spine affects organs or nerves. I don't want to be too late so kindly give your opinion. What can I do for him?

Dear Patient,

Kyphosis and scoliosis - abnormal spinal curves- are a difficult condition. Lifestyle changes that help build muscle like swimming, physiotherapy are useful, back braces or casts can help in growing years. I'm attaching an article below that you can read but I would strongly recommend an opinion from both a neurosurgeon/spine specialist and an orthopedic if need be.

Spinal surgery is complicated and recovery is long and tough hence waiting may be a better option. However a spine surgeon can guide you best
