Providing Relief for Neuromuscular Scoliosis in Bangalore

Ishaan Ortho & Spine in Bangalore, we understand the challenges faced by individuals with neuromuscular scoliosis. This complex condition arises when underlying neurological disorders affect muscle function and control, leading to an abnormal curvature of the spine. Our team of experienced spine specialists offers comprehensive treatment plans, including hospitalization care when necessary, to help manage your scoliosis and improve your quality of life.

What is Neuromuscular Scoliosis?

Neuromuscular scoliosis is a specific type of scoliosis caused by underlying neurological conditions that affect muscle function and control. These conditions can disrupt the delicate balance of muscles that support the spine, leading to its abnormal curvature. Some common neurological conditions associated with neuromuscular scoliosis include:

Cerebral palsy
Muscular dystrophy
Spinal muscular atrophy
Myelomeningocele ( spina bifida)

Symptoms of Neuromuscular Scoliosis:

Visible curvature of the spine (may be more prominent than in idiopathic scoliosis)
Uneven shoulders or hips
Leaning to one side
Back pain (may not always be present)
Difficulty breathing (in severe cases)
Other symptoms related to the underlying neurological condition

Early Diagnosis and Treatment are Crucial:

Early diagnosis and treatment of neuromuscular scoliosis are essential to prevent curve progression and potential complications such as breathing problems and impaired mobility. At Ishaan Ortho & Spine, we offer comprehensive diagnostic services and create personalized treatment plans for individuals with neuromuscular scoliosis.

Treatment Options for Neuromuscular Scoliosis:

Treatment for neuromuscular scoliosis focuses on managing the underlying neurological condition, controlling curve progression, and optimizing function. Our team may recommend a combination of approaches, including:

Non-surgical Treatment:
- Medications: Medications to manage the underlying neurological condition may help improve muscle function and prevent further weakening.
- Physical Therapy: Specific exercises tailored to your individual needs can improve core strength, flexibility, and posture.
- Bracing: Wearing a custom-designed brace can help control the curve and provide support for the spine.
- Respiratory Therapy: If breathing difficulties are present, our respiratory therapists can help manage them and improve lung function.
Surgical Treatment:
- Spinal deformity correction surgery: In severe cases with significant curvature, pain, 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 Neuromuscular Scoliosis:

Depending on the treatment approach, hospitalization may be necessary. Our hospital provides a supportive environment with specialized care, including:

Pre-operative Care: If surgery is recommended, our team will ensure you are well-prepared for the procedure, considering any limitations due to the underlying neurological condition.
Post-operative Care: Following surgery, we provide comprehensive care to manage pain, monitor recovery, and start rehabilitation tailored for individuals with neuromuscular conditions.
Physical and Occupational Therapy: A team of therapists will work with you on exercises and techniques to improve strength, flexibility, mobility, and daily living activities.
Respiratory Therapy: If breathing difficulties are present, our respiratory therapists will continue to manage them and help you regain optimal lung function.

Ensuring stability with EXTERNAL IMMOBILISATION  WITH A SLAB. Enhancing recovery with a LOCAL BONE GRAFT to fill the cavity at the fracture site.  The surgery which lasted 2.5 hours,  was a complete success, and within a few days , I began to regain  mobility in my arm . During my post surgery visits, Dr. Shetty exhibited exemplary patience and  attentiveness. He took the time to  explain every aspect , from the  intricacies of the  procedure to the healing process, considering my age .

  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.
