spinal deformities

Spinal deformities are abnormalities in the structure of the spine, affecting its normal shape and alignment. Common types include scoliosis (sideways curvature), kyphosis (excessive forward rounding), and lordosis (exaggerated inward curve). These conditions can arise from various factors, including genetics, trauma, or diseases, and may lead to discomfort, pain, or complications with mobility. Treatment options vary, ranging from physical therapy and bracing to surgery in severe cases, aiming to alleviate symptoms and improve posture and quality of life. Regular check-ups can help in early detection and management.
