Overview

Scoliosis is a spinal condition where the spine curves sideways, which can cause back pain, visible deformity, and even breathing problems. Scoliosis surgery is a specialized orthopedic procedure to correct and stabilize the spine, preventing the curve from worsening. While most often performed on adolescents during their growth spurt, this surgery can also be a necessary treatment for adults with severe curves.
