Posture and mobility may be negatively impacted by spinal deformities such as scoliosis and kyphosis. For cervical vertebrae treatment, our experienced therapists design straps, eyeglasses, and bracing. When the case is required, corrective surgery is also available. As an established posture and spine alignment specialist, we enhance the spinal health of the patients and subsequently, their quality of life.
It is a condition in which the spine is curved sideways. It can happen at any age and every age group has different reasons that can cause it. In children, scoliosis is mostly seen in adolescents and in 80% of patients no specific cause can be found. This type is called as "Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis". Other causes of scoliosis in children include congenital vertebral anomalies ie abnormal development of vertebrae since birth. It can also be associated with conditions like neurofibromatosis, cerebral palsy, polio and other neuromuscular disorders, infections and tumors.
In adults scoliosis can be due to degenerative conditions of the spine, late presentation of vertebral anomalies or inflammatory conditions of the spine.
When the parents notice such signs it is advisable to consult a specialist early so that proper treatment can be instituted.

It is the exaggerated front to back curvature commonly called as "Roundback or Hunchback". It is mostly seen in the upper and mid spine behind the chest (thoracic or thoracolumbar kyphosis). In rare cases it can even be seen in the neck (cervical kyphosis).
The cervical vertebrae help sustain the head and provide a range of motion to the neck. Cervical vertebrae treatment is an important factor for maintaining the health of the spine and adequate posture.
The cervical region contains seven vertebrae, C1–C7. They provide structural support to the head and allow for a smooth and free range of head movement. Any misalignment or damage to any single part of this system can impact its functionality and the spinal system as a whole.
These vertebrae enable a full range of head and neck rotation and tilting, in addition to other movements. Where deformities impact the ability, a cervical orthopedic specialist helps restore normal function to relieve the discomfort.
Appropriate alignment of the vertebrae is fundamental to avoiding strain in the remaining part of the spine. In extreme cases of hunchbacked posture, hunchback surgery is conducted to correct posture and avoid long-term complications.
Specialized treatment and early intervention aid in dealing with some issues at an earlier stage, leading to improved mobility and a healthier spine.
A posture and spine alignment specialist is important for diagnosing and managing the conditions of spinal misalignment, such as scoliosis, kyphosis, or lordosis. These practitioners aim to improve spinal health by providing personalization at every step of a patient’s treatment.
Having sophisticated diagnostic machinery, a posture and spine alignment specialist assesses the state of spinal posture, reveals abnormalities, and determines the discomfort’s causative factor. For example, misaligned cervical vertebrae can lead to significant mobility issues and affect general well-being.
Every patient is provided with a detailed scheme including physiotherapy, spinal braces and even cervical vertebrae retrogenesis aimed at restoring balance to the spine. In some situations, patients may need to undergo surgery for better purposes.
In their effort to prevent treatment, posture and spine alignment specialists diagnose and assist patients with maintaining healthy spines and posture correction, along with active prevention exercises so as not to exacerbate any existing conditions. Many of these services are offered through physical therapy facilities, which provide targeted programs and professional guidance to support long-term spinal health.
