Congenital Spinal Deformities

Congenital spinal deformities are conditions present at birth that affect the structure of the spine. These can include abnormalities like scoliosis (curvature of the spine), kyphosis (excessive forward rounding), or missing vertebrae. These deformities can lead to discomfort, issues with mobility, and potential complications with organ function, depending on their severity. Treatment options vary, including monitoring, physical therapy, and sometimes surgery, to correct or manage the spine's shape and support overall health. Early detection and intervention can greatly improve outcomes for affected individuals.
