Scoliosis is a musculoskeletal condition characterized by an abnormal lateral curvature of the spine. In orthopaedics, scoliosis is a common concern, and assessments often focus on diagnosing and managing the progression of spinal deformities. While the cause of scoliosis can vary, idiopathic scoliosis, which develops without a clear cause, is the most prevalent. Orthopedic evaluations for scoliosis involve physical examinations, spinal imaging (X-rays, CT scans, or MRIs), and sometimes specialized tests to assess the degree of curvature and its impact on spinal function. Treatment approaches depend on the severity and cause of scoliosis and may include observation, bracing, or surgical intervention in cases of significant curvature progression. Orthopedic specialists collaborate with physical therapists to develop tailored exercise programs that aim to improve posture, strengthen supporting muscles, and enhance overall spinal stability. Early detection and intervention are crucial in managing scoliosis, as it can prevent further progression and associated complications.
