Kyphosis & Scoliosis Specialist in Ahmedabad

What Is Scoliosis and Kyphosis?

scoliosis and kyphosis are both types of spinal deformities, but they affect the spine in different ways:

In summary, scoliosis involves a sideways curvature of the spine, while kyphosis involves an excessive outward curvature of the upper back. Both conditions can vary in severity and may require different treatment approaches depending on the individual’s symptoms and the underlying cause of the spinal deformity.

Scoliosis and Kyphosis

Scoliosis

    • Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine that often develops during growth spurts before puberty. While some degree of spinal curvature is normal, scoliosis involves a significant and abnormal sideways curvature.
    • The curvature of the spine in scoliosis may resemble an “S” or a “C” shape when viewed from the back.
    • Scoliosis can vary in severity, and it may cause uneven shoulders, waist, or hips, as well as back pain or stiffness.
    • Treatment for scoliosis depends on factors such as the severity of the curvature, the age of the individual, and whether the curvature is progressing. Treatment options may include observation, bracing, or surgery in more severe cases.

Kyphosis

    • Kyphosis is an excessive outward curvature of the spine, causing a forward rounding of the upper back. It often results in a hunched or “humpback” appearance.
    • Kyphosis can occur at any age and may be caused by various factors, including poor posture, degenerative changes in the spine, osteoporosis, or congenital conditions.
    • Mild kyphosis may not cause any symptoms, but more severe cases can lead to back pain, stiffness, and difficulty standing upright.
    • Treatment for kyphosis depends on the underlying cause and severity of the curvature. Conservative treatments such as physical therapy, exercises to improve posture, and bracing may be recommended for mild cases. In more severe cases or when kyphosis is causing neurological symptoms, surgery may be necessary to correct the curvature and stabilize the spine.
