👨⚕️Understand the Dangers of Undiagnosed Scoliosis in Children
Normally, the spine should appear straight when viewed from the back. For people with scoliosis, spine curves into a “C” or “S” shape. Scoliosis may be detected through warning signs such as uneven shoulder height, one side of the waist appearing sunken or bulging, the spine tilting when standing upright, or a visibly curved spine when bending forward.
Scoliosis is quite common in children and adolescents. It’s not only a cosmetic or posture-related issue. If left untreated, scoliosis can seriously impact a person’s future quality of life.
It could lead to:
❗ Abnormal physical development, such as leaning posture or skeletal deformities
❗ Chronic back pain that can persist from adolescence into adulthood
❗ Compression of internal organs like the lungs and heart, causing shortness of breath or fatigue
❗ Increased risk of early-onset degenerative joint conditions
Treatment options for scoliosis depend on several factors, including the patient’s age, the degree of curvature, the severity of the condition, and how quickly the curve is progressing. Treatment approaches may include:
Observation and regular monitoring
Bracing to prevent further curvature
Surgical intervention in severe cases
Scoliosis surgery is currently safer with the help of advanced technology such as:
• O-arm Navigation, which provides high-resolution imaging of the spine, allowing surgeons to insert screws with high precision
• Intraoperative Neuromonitoring, which monitors nerve signals during surgery to minimize the risk of nerve damage
Early detection and timely treatment can help children live normal lives, grow up strong, and participate fully in physical activities.
