Alignment is function
A balanced spine distributes load evenly; a deformed one overloads joints, muscles and nerves — correction restores mechanics, not just appearance.

Scoliosis & Deformity Correction
Individually planned correction of spinal curvature and imbalance in children and adults.
What it is
Restoring a spine that leans
Scoliosis and kyphosis tilt the body off balance — uneven loading that wears joints, strains muscles and can compress nerves. Correction rebalances the column with instrumented surgery planned curve by curve, level by level.
Planned from full-spine imaging
Standing full-spine films map every curve and compensation, so the plan corrects structure rather than chasing symptoms.
Selective levels
Only the levels that must be included are fused — preserving motion everywhere the deformity allows.
Children and adults
Growing spines and stiff adult deformities follow different rules; the strategy matches the age and flexibility of the curve.
What to expect
Measured first, corrected once
Deformity surgery tolerates no improvisation: the correction is defined on imaging long before the operating room.
01
Measurement and modelling
Curves are measured, flexibility assessed, and the correction simulated before any date is set.
02
Instrumented correction
Screws, rods and releases reshape the column toward the planned alignment under continuous monitoring.
03
Aftercare
Bracing, physiotherapy and staged mobilisation follow a plan set to your correction. Report fever, worsening pain or new neurology promptly.
Common questions
Things patients ask us
Does every scoliosis need surgery?
No. Most curves are observed or braced; surgery is reserved for progressive, painful or functionally limiting deformity — the assessment says which you have.
Will I be completely straight?
The goal is a balanced, functional spine — not geometric perfection. Over-correction carries its own risks, and the plan targets balance.
What are the risks?
Neurological monitoring runs throughout because the cord is at stake; infection, hardware issues and incomplete correction are discussed openly beforehand.
How is adult deformity different?
Adult curves are stiffer, often arthritic and frequently painful — correction prioritises pain relief and balance over maximal straightening.
