Scoliosis Treatment & Correction | Expert Non-Surgical Spine Care in Delhi NCR
Scoliosis is a spinal condition in which the backbone (spine) curves sideways into an abnormal “S” or “C” shape. Instead of running straight down the center of the back, the spine tilts to one side, sometimes causing the ribs or shoulders to appear uneven. This abnormal curvature may affect posture, movement, and even internal organs if left untreated.
This condition most often develops during the growth phase of children and teenagers (especially during puberty), but it can also appear in adults due to factors such as poor posture, degenerative disc disease, or muscle imbalance.
If not detected and treated early, scoliosis can gradually worsen and lead to pain, stiffness, imbalance, and visible deformities in the back and shoulders. Early intervention through manual therapy and physiotherapy can help in controlling and correcting the curve naturally — without surgery.
Scoliosis can occur for several different reasons. Based on its cause, it is generally classified into the following types:
The most common type, found mostly in teenagers.
The exact cause is unknown but may be linked to genetics or rapid growth.
Present from birth due to improper development of the spine in the womb.
Often detected early in childhood.
Occurs due to weakness or imbalance in muscles and nerves, often seen in conditions like cerebral palsy or muscular dystrophy.
Develops later in life due to spinal degeneration, arthritis, osteoporosis, or poor posture.
Temporary curvature caused by muscle spasms, unequal leg length, or poor posture.
Can often be corrected through physiotherapy and manual therapy.
Scoliosis symptoms may vary depending on the severity and cause of the curve. Some individuals may not feel pain initially, while others may experience visible deformities or discomfort.
Scoliosis can develop due to multiple factors, ranging from congenital spine deformities to poor postural habits developed over time. While in some cases the exact cause remains unknown, understanding the underlying reason helps in planning the most effective treatment approach.
Below are the most common causes of scoliosis, explained in detail:
This type of scoliosis is present from birth due to abnormal development of the spine in the womb. One or more vertebrae may be misshapen or fused together, causing the spine to curve as the child grows.
The most common form of scoliosis, especially in adolescents (ages 10–18). The exact cause is still unknown, but it is believed to be linked to:
Idiopathic scoliosis often progresses during growth spurts, so early detection through screening is essential.
This occurs due to neurological or muscular disorders that affect posture and movement. The spine curves because the muscles supporting it are weak or uncoordinated. Common underlying conditions include:
Manual therapy, physiotherapy, and strengthening exercises can help in managing pain, improving posture, and slowing curve progression.
Seen mainly in adults and elderly people, this type of scoliosis develops due to wear and tear of the spine over time.
Causes include:
Symptoms often include chronic lower back pain, stiffness, and difficulty standing straight. Early physiotherapy intervention can prevent worsening.
Unlike structural scoliosis, postural scoliosis is temporary and reversible. It occurs due to:
Modern sedentary lifestyles also play a major role in developing mild spinal curvatures:
These postural stresses can lead to muscle imbalance and gradual curvature over time. Preventive physiotherapy and posture correction sessions at Capri Spine Clinic can significantly help maintain spinal health.
Severe back injury, accident, or spinal surgery complications can sometimes lead to secondary scoliosis. Immediate medical attention and rehabilitation are crucial to restore spinal stability.
Accurate diagnosis is the first and most crucial step in successfully treating scoliosis. At Capri Spine Clinic, we believe that every spine is unique — which is why our team focuses on identifying the exact curvature pattern, severity, and underlying cause before designing a personalized treatment plan.
Our diagnostic process combines advanced imaging, clinical expertise, and postural assessment tools to evaluate the spine in detail.
Our spine specialists begin with a thorough physical examination to assess the visible curve, shoulder height, and alignment of the back and hips.
This initial assessment helps determine whether the curvature is postural, structural, or degenerative in nature.
Capri Spine Clinic uses modern postural analysis systems to identify even the slightest spinal deviations.
Imaging is a key part of scoliosis diagnosis.
Accurate imaging ensures that we understand the curvature’s severity and design a targeted, non-surgical treatment plan accordingly.
Scoliosis requires ongoing monitoring — especially in growing children or adolescents. At Capri Spine Clinic, we keep track of changes in spinal curvature through periodic re-evaluations and posture scans to ensure steady progress and prevent worsening.
At Capri Spine Clinic, Delhi, our experienced team of spine specialists and physiotherapists designs a personalized treatment plan for each scoliosis patient. Our goal is to restore the spine’s natural alignment and prevent further curvature — all without surgery.
Our Treatment Program Includes:
Each session is designed to improve spinal movement, enhance strength, and reduce curvature progressively.
