Managing Kyphoscoliosis and Spinal Imbalance in Post-Polio Conditions - Effective Treatment in Bangalore

Ishaan Ortho & Spine in Bangalore, we understand the unique challenges faced by individuals with post-polio syndrome who develop kyphoscoliosis and spinal imbalance. This condition, characterized by a combined abnormal curvature of the spine (kyphosis – rounding of the upper back, and scoliosis – sideways curvature), can arise due to polio’s long-term effects on muscle weakness and growth deficiencies. Our team of experienced spine specialists offers comprehensive treatment plans, including hospitalization care when necessary, to help manage your condition and improve your quality of life.

Post-Polio Kyphoscoliosis and Spinal Imbalance: Understanding the Challenge

Polio, a debilitating viral illness, can leave lasting effects on the body, especially the musculoskeletal system. Muscle weakness caused by polio can lead to uneven growth and development of the spine, resulting in kyphoscoliosis and spinal imbalance. This can cause:

Chronic pain and discomfort
Difficulty standing straight
Limited mobility and breathing problems (in severe cases)
Impaired posture and self-confidence

Early Evaluation and Treatment are Key

Early evaluation and treatment of post-polio kyphoscoliosis are crucial to prevent further progression and improve your overall well-being. At Ishaan Ortho & Spine, we offer a comprehensive approach to diagnose your specific condition and develop a personalized treatment plan.

Treatment Options for Post-Polio Kyphoscoliosis and Spinal Imbalance:

Treatment for this condition depends on the severity of your kyphoscoliosis and spinal imbalance. Our team may recommend a combination of approaches, including:

Non-surgical Treatment:
- Pain Management: Medications like pain relievers and muscle relaxants can help manage pain and discomfort.
- Physical Therapy: Specific exercises can improve core strength, flexibility, and posture, promoting better spinal alignment.
- Bracing: Wearing a custom-designed brace in some cases can provide support and help maintain proper posture.
Surgical Treatment:
- Minimally invasive procedures: Techniques like vertebral augmentation (Kyphoplasty or Vertebroplasty) may be considered to stabilize weakened vertebrae and reduce pain in some cases.
- Spinal deformity correction surgery: In severe cases with significant pain, deformity, or breathing problems, surgery might be recommended to correct the curvature and improve spinal balance. This may involve spinal osteotomies (cutting and realigning vertebrae) with or without fusion techniques.

Hospitalization Care for Post-Polio Kyphoscoliosis:

Depending on the treatment approach, hospitalization may be necessary. Our hospital provides a supportive environment with specialized care for individuals with post-polio conditions, including:

Pre-operative Care: If surgery is recommended, our team will ensure you are well-prepared for the procedure, considering any post-polio considerations.
Post-operative Care: Following surgery, we provide comprehensive care to manage pain, monitor recovery, and start rehabilitation tailored for post-polio individuals.
Physical Therapy: A physical therapist experienced in post-polio rehabilitation will work with you on exercises to improve strength, flexibility, and mobility after surgery or other interventions.
Respiratory Therapy: If breathing difficulties are present, our respiratory therapists can help manage them and improve lung function.

  I had neck pain because of long hour sitting job. I was by a colleague to Dr Subodh Shetty at Ishaan Orthopaedics and was diagnosed with Cervical issues.

Dr. Subodh  Shetty recommended a surgical procedure that involved:
A meticulas RIGHT UPPER END HUMERUS FRACTURE PHILOS PLATING AND SCREW. Precise REDUCTION  AND K WIRE FIXATION  perfomed under an image intensifier.

  Words can hardly convey the incredible transformation that has occurred in our lives, all thanks to the extraordinary Dr. Subodh M. Shetty. He is more than just a doctor; he is our savior, and his impact on our family is immeasurable.

My father's struggle with ankylosing spondylitis was nothing short of a nightmare. The mere act of bending was accompanied by a horrifying symphony of joint movement, a sound that served as a constant reminder of the pain he endured every day. His condition left him unable to enjoy the simplest of pleasures, and it weighed heavily on all of us.

When we first met Dr. Shetty, my father's situation was further complicated by a dangerously low hemoglobin level. Many doctors might have hesitated, but not Dr. Shetty. He calibrates his approach with a precision that can only be described as miraculous. His unwavering confidence in the face of adversity gave us the strength to proceed with the surgery, despite the odds.

During the surgery, Dr. Shetty's skill and expertise shone brightly. He guided my father through the intricate procedure with a steady hand, leaving us with no doubt that we had made the right choice. But Dr. Shetty's care did not stop at the operating room; he provided us with a professional physiotherapist who played a crucial role in managing my father's pain and facilitating his recovery.

What truly sets Dr. Shetty apart is his unwavering dedication. He was with us every step of the way, from the initial consultation to my father's complete recovery. His presence was a source of comfort and reassurance, a guiding light in our darkest hours.

Our journey with Dr. Shetty began with a simple Google search, "Best Orthopedic Doctor Near Me," and little did we know that this search would change the course of our lives. Dr. Subodh M. Shetty is not just a doctor; he is a miracle worker, a compassionate healer, and a guiding force that has brought light and hope back into our family.

To Dr. Shetty, you are not only a gifted surgeon but a true guardian angel. Your skill, dedication, and unwavering support have given my father a new lease on life, and for that, we are forever grateful. You have touched our hearts in ways words can't capture, and we consider ourselves blessed to have found you.
