Scoliosis Meaning in Urdu

سکولیوسس ایک بیماری ہے جس میں ریڑھ کی ہڈی غیر معمولی طور پر ایک طرف مڑ جاتی ہے۔ یہ زیادہ تر بچوں اور نوجوانوں میں ہوتا ہے، لیکن کبھی کبھی بڑوں میں بھی ہو سکتا ہے۔ بعض اوقات اس کی وجہ معلوم نہیں ہوتی، اور بعض اوقات یہ پیدائشی نقص، عضلات یا اعصابی بیماریوں، یا ریڑھ کی ہڈی کے زخم یا انفیکشن کی وجہ سے ہو سکتی ہے۔ اگر اس کا علاج نہ کیا جائے تو ریڑھ کی ہڈی کا مڑاؤ بڑھ سکتا ہے اور جسمانی ساخت، چلنے پھرنے یا سانس لینے میں مشکلات پیدا ہو سکتی ہیں۔

About Scoliosis

Scoliosis is a condition in which the spine bends sideways, making it look like the letter “S” or “C.” This curve usually appears when a child is growing quickly before puberty, but it can also happen in babies or adults.

In many cases, the cause is not known. However, it can sometimes occur due to birth defects in the spine, muscle or nerve problems like cerebral palsy or muscular weakness, or because of injuries and infections in the back.

Scoliosis Symptoms

 Common signs and symptoms of scoliosis include:

• Uneven shoulders or shoulder blades
• One hip appearing higher than the other
• Visible curve in the spine
• Uneven waistline
• One side of the rib cage sticking out
• Back pain or stiffness
• Difficulty standing straight

Seek medical advice immediately if you notice:

• Rapidly worsening spinal curvature
• Breathing difficulties due to chest compression
• Severe back pain
• Noticeable change in posture or balance

Scoliosis Causes

 The exact cause of scoliosis remains unclear, but possible causes include:

• Idiopathic (unknown) origin, most common in adolescents
• Congenital spinal malformations
• Neuromuscular conditions (e.g., muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy)
• Genetic factors
• Spinal cord abnormalities
• Injuries or infections affecting the spine
• Poor posture (in rare cases, it may worsen curvature)

Scoliosis Risk Factors

Certain factors can increase the likelihood of developing scoliosis:

• Family history of scoliosis
• Female gender (more likely to progress)
• Rapid growth during puberty
• Neuromuscular disorders
• Congenital spinal defects
• Age-related spinal degeneration
• Previous spinal injuries or surgeries 

Scoliosis Prevention

 Scoliosis cannot always be prevented, but these steps can help reduce risk and progression:

• Regular posture checks in children during growth years
• Early screening during school or pediatric visits
• Strengthening back and core muscles
• Maintaining bone health through calcium and vitamin D
• Avoiding heavy backpacks or uneven weight carrying
• Prompt treatment for underlying neuromuscular disorders

Scoliosis Types

Scoliosis can be classified into several types based on its cause and pattern of curvature:

Idiopathic Scoliosis:

It is the most common form, usually found in adolescents with no identifiable cause. It can range from mild to severe curvature.

Congenital Scoliosis:

This form of scoliosis occurs due to abnormal vertebral formation before birth. The condition may worsen as the child grows.

Neuromuscular Scoliosis:

This type of scoliosis results from conditions that affect muscle control, such as cerebral palsy, spina bifida, or muscular dystrophy.

Degenerative Scoliosis:

Degenerative scoliosis is seen in adults due to age-related changes in the spine, such as arthritis or disc degeneration.

Functional (Postural) Scoliosis:

This type develops due to temporary factors like muscle spasms, unequal leg length, or poor posture. Once the underlying issue is corrected, the curvature may resolve.

Scoliosis Diagnosis

 Doctors may diagnose scoliosis through:

• Physical examination (checking posture and symmetry)
• Adam’s forward bend test
• Scoliometer measurement
• X-rays to determine the degree of curvature (Cobb angle)
• MRI or CT scans if neurological issues are suspected
• Review of medical and family history
• Regular monitoring to check curve progression in growing children

Scoliosis Treatment

Treatment of scoliosis depends on the degree of curvature, age, and symptoms:

Observation:

For mild scoliosis, regular checkups and X-rays every 6–12 months may be enough.

Bracing:

This method is used in children and teens to prevent curve progression while the spine is still growing.

Physical Therapy:

This type of treatment includes exercises to strengthen core muscles, improve posture, and reduce pain.

Surgical Treatment (Spinal Fusion):

It is recommended for severe curves (typically over 45–50 degrees) to straighten and stabilize the spine.

Pain Management:

Pain management can be achieved through physiotherapy, stretching, anti-inflammatory medications, or heat therapy.

Lifestyle Adjustments:

• Maintaining a healthy weight
• Practicing proper posture
• Using ergonomic furniture
• Engaging in low-impact physical activities like swimming or yoga

Scoliosis Complications

 If left untreated, scoliosis can cause:

• Persistent back pain
• Breathing problems due to chest compression
• Uneven body alignment
• Reduced physical activity and endurance
• Spinal nerve compression
• Emotional or self-image issues in adolescents
• Difficulty walking or balancing in severe cases
• Post-surgical complications (in advanced cases)
