Spinal deformity refers to abnormal curvatures or alignments of the spine that can affect an individual's posture, mobility, and overall health. These deformities can arise from various causes, including congenital factors, developmental issues, degenerative diseases, trauma, or neuromuscular conditions. The most common types of spinal deformities include scoliosis, kyphosis, and lordosis. Understanding these conditions, their causes, symptoms, and treatment options is essential for effective management.
The prognosis for individuals with spinal deformities varies based on the type and severity of the condition. Many individuals with mild to moderate deformities can lead normal, active lives with appropriate management. However, severe cases may require ongoing treatment and can impact overall quality of life.
