State-of-the-Art Scoliosis Treatment at Adam Vital Hospital
Scoliosis is an abnormal condition characterized by the lateral curvature of the spine. This condition and deformation of the spine affect children and adults, often resulting in serious physical and emotional problems. Here at Adam Vital Hospital, we diagnose and treat cases of scoliosis. We maintain current standards regarding care for spinal curvature surgery, and complex management of spinal deformity in children, and adults.
Understanding Scoliosis
Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine, usually appearing during the growth spurt before puberty. Though it can affect people of any age, scoliosis mostly impacts children and adolescents. The degree of the curve can range from mild to severe. If more serious cases of scoliosis are left untreated, complications may ensue, including chronic pain and difficulty in breathing.
Causes and Symptoms
Although the general causes of scoliosis are unknown, common ones include congenital spinal deformities, neuromuscular conditions, and genetic factors. Symptoms include uneven shoulders and waist, one hip higher than the other, and, in severe cases, a visible spinal curvature. Early detection allows for effective management, especially in spinal deformity in children.
Scoliosis Diagnosis
State-of-the-art diagnostic tools are essential, and Adam Vital Hospital is fully equipped with them for accurate assessment. Diagnosis includes a thorough physical examination combined with imaging studies like X-rays, MRI, and CT scans. These diagnostic tests determine the extent of the curvature and help plan the best treatment approach, whether through spinal surgery or non-surgical interventions.
Treatment Options at Adam Vital Hospital
Our multidisciplinary team plays an active role in offering a wide range of treatments tailored to individual patient needs at Adam Vital Hospital. Early intervention in children may prevent curvature progression and reduce the need for surgery. Our treatment options include:
- Monitoring and Observation: For mild deformities, regular monitoring by experts is crucial to track the progression of the curvature.
- Bracing: Special braces can be worn to prevent further curvature in growing children and adolescents.
- Physical Therapy: Exercises to strengthen the muscles around the spine and improve posture can be beneficial.
- Surgery for Spinal Curvature: In advanced cases, surgical intervention may be necessary. Professor Dr. Hany Abdel Gawwad, one of the most prominent spine surgeons, specializes in advanced spinal deformity surgeries using advanced techniques to correct and stabilize the spine.
Surgery for Spinal Curvature
State-of-the-art technology and minimally invasive techniques are employed in spinal curvature surgery at Adam Vital Hospital. High-quality care for spinal deformity in children and spinal deformity in adults is provided by Dr. Hany Abdel Gawwad, who leverages his vast training and experience. His innovative surgical techniques help correct spinal deformities, alleviate pain, improve function, and enhance the quality of life.
Success Stories and Patient Care
Adam Vital Hospital is proud to announce its successes in treating scoliosis and other spinal deformities. One notable case involved the treatment of a Saudi girl with a rare and severe spinal deformity. Dr. Hany Abdel Gawwad performed complex surgery to correct her spine, demonstrating our commitment to excellence in spinal care.
Raising Awareness
The disparity in scoliosis treatment options is largely due to a lack of awareness about scoliosis and its treatments. To address this, Professor Dr. Hany Abdel Gawwad has created a series of educational videos titled “A Thousand Questions and Answers in Spine Surgeries,” aimed at educating the public on spinal health. These insights are crucial for understanding spinal curvature surgery, spinal deformity in children, and spinal deformity in adults.
Conclusion
Adam Vital Hospital has heavily invested in scoliosis treatment, bringing the latest care advancements to our patients. With advanced techniques and the expertise of Professor Dr. Hany Abdel Gawwad, we offer hope and healing to those with spinal deformities in children and adults.
