Scoliosis in Parents and Teenagers

Children and adolescents can be screened for scoliosis at annual physical examinations. However, if you notice that your child has uneven shoulders, hips or waist, or a curve in the spine, do not delay booking a consultation with a specialist.

It can be a worrying time if you suspect that your child may have scoliosis, or when a child or adolescent is diagnosed with the condition. Our expert team at Neuro Spinal Hospital Dubai are available to address any concerns and questions you may have.

Scoliosis is a very manageable condition, especially if diagnosed at a young age. Various treatments can prevent the condition getting worse and correct spinal curvatures. As scoliosis affects each person differently.  An individualised treatment plan will be developed, after discussion with you and your child, and reviewed regularly.  

Children and adults with scoliosis can enjoy a full and active life. However, they may face social and emotional challenges due to the condition or its treatment. Your child will benefit from your support and encouragement, as well as having a supportive peer group. Support groups are available online, and in some locations in-person, for children, teens and their families. 

Scoliosis in teenagers

If you have been diagnosed with scoliosis you may have many concerns and questions. Scoliosis tends to be diagnosed at an age when your body is already going through changes and other teenagers may not understand what scoliosis is. 

It can help to find a group of supportive friends, as well as linking up with other teenagers with scoliosis to share advice and experiences. There are support groups online, such as Curvy Girls, for girls up to age 18 with scoliosis.

Our expert team at Neuro Spinal Hospital Dubai are here to support you from your first visit through any monitoring or treatment you may need. Each person with scoliosis is different and our spinal surgery doctors will discuss which treatment options are recommended for you.

Having scoliosis should not stop you playing sports or having fun with your friends, even if you wear a brace. Keeping active is good for general fitness and well-being. If you need a brace, it will be more effective the more hours you wear it per day.
