Scoliosis surgery is a procedure that is used to correct the spine's abnormal sideways curvature. The surgery aims to straighten and stabilize the spine, preventing the curve from progressing further and alleviating pain or discomfort.
Medical conditions that can be treated through Scoliosis Surgery include:
The recovery process after Scoliosis Surgery includes a few days in the hospital for pain management and monitoring. Physical therapy is started soon after to help with mobility and strength. It is recommended that patients gradually increase their activity levels while avoiding strenuous activities. The healing process can take several weeks to months, and patients may be advised to wear a brace during this time. Regular follow-up visits with the surgical team are suggested to monitor the progress and ensure proper spine healing.
My mother and I are highly satisfied with the treating doctor and the overall medical team at Fortis Hospital. We appreciate the exceptional patient care and services provided by both doctors and nursing staff emphasizing their Professionalism and dedication throughout their stay. Additionally, I commend MediGence and their team, for their prompt assistance in scheduling appointments, addressing all our medical treatment needs, and efficiently facilitating the entire process of arranging airport pick-ups were beyond. We are so glad to choose MediGence and travel to India for the treatment.
