congenital spinal deformities

How are Congenital Spinal Deformities Treated?

Treatment depends on the type and severity of the deformity, as well as the presence of symptoms.
1. Observation: Mild deformities without symptoms may just require regular monitoring.
2. Bracing: Braces can help control the progression of spinal curvature in growing children.
3. Physical Therapy: This can help in improving mobility and reducing pain.
4. Surgery: Severe cases often require surgical intervention to correct the deformity and prevent further complications. Surgical options include spinal fusion and the use of rods or screws to stabilize the spine.
