Spine Lumbar Scoliosis Treatment in Kolkata

Home > Treatments > Spine Lumbar Scoliosis

Overview

Lumbar scoliosis is characterised by an abnormal sideways curvature and rotation of the spine in the lower back (lumbar region). A healthy spine has a natural front-to-back curve, but scoliosis causes a C- or S-shaped bend with a minimum 10-degree Cobb’s angle measurement. This curvature can range from mild to severe, and in severe cases, it can impact posture, cause discomfort, and potentially affect other organs. Seek medical attention from Dr. Rohit Mishra, a renowned scoliosis correction doctor in Kolkata, for advanced scoliosis treatments.

Types of Spine Lumbar Scoliosis

Common backbone injuries are:

  • Idiopathic scoliosis

    It is the most common type that appears during adolescence with no apparent cause.

  • Congenital scoliosis

    A rare condition that presents from birth due to abnormal vertebral formation during fetal development.

  • Neuromuscular scoliosis

    Related to muscle or nerve disorders such as cerebral palsy or muscular dystrophy, leading to weak spinal support.

  • Degenerative scoliosis

    Also called adult-onset scoliosis develops due to age-related spinal wear, leading to pain and mobility issues.

  • Nonstructural scoliosis

    Muscle spasms, leg length differences, or other reversible factors cause a temporary but postural curvature.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can lumbar scoliosis get worse with age?

    Yes. If left untreated, spinal curvature may progress 1-2 degrees annually in adults. Regular monitoring and early intervention are recommended to manage this progression effectively.

    Can scoliosis cause paralysis?

    While rare, severe scoliosis can compress the spinal cord, potentially leading to neurological issues, including paralysis. Discuss your concern with Dr. Mishra about early treatment for adult scoliosis and adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS).

    Can exercise cure scoliosis?

    Not completely. Exercise can help improve flexibility and strength but cannot fix the structural curve of scoliosis

    Can scoliosis affect organ function?

    In severe cases, where the spinal curve’s Cobb angle measurement exceeds 40 degrees or more, scoliosis curvature may affect lung function and make breathing difficult.

    How effective is spinal fusion for scoliosis?

    Spinal fusion is highly effective in stabilising the spine and preventing further curvature. In extreme cases, it reduces pain, improves posture, and enhances mobility. Recovery varies depending on individual health conditions and other factors, but most patients experience long-term relief.
