Pediatric spinal disorders include conditions like scoliosis, kyphosis, and spinal muscular atrophy, each affecting the child's spine differently. Scoliosis manifests through a noticeable sideways curvature of the spine, often accompanied by uneven shoulders and a protruding ribcage. Kyphosis is characterized by an exaggerated forward rounding of the back, and spinal muscular atrophy primarily causes muscle weakening due to motor neuron loss.
Non-surgical treatment:
At Aster Whitefield Hospital, the approach to treating these spinal disorders combines both non-surgical and surgical methods, tailored to the severity and specific needs of the condition. Non-surgical treatments may include physical therapy to enhance mobility and prevent deterioration, and braces to aid in correcting spinal alignment in conditions like scoliosis.
Surgical Interventions:
Surgical interventions are considered when conservative methods are insufficient, focusing on restoring spinal alignment and relieving symptoms effectively.
