● Diagnosis: X-rays, MRI scans, and physical examination
○ X-rays can show the degree of curvature and the location of the curve
○ MRI scans can show the spinal cord and nerve roots
○ Physical examination can assess the range of motion and muscle strength
● Surgery: Used for severe cases of Scoliosis, involves correcting the curvature of the spine through surgery
● Bracing: Used for mild to moderate cases of Scoliosis, involves wearing a brace to prevent further curvature
● Physical Therapy: Used to improve muscle strength and flexibility, can help prevent further curvature
● Lower Costs: Scoliosis surgery in India is significantly less expensive than in many other countrie
● World-Class Healthcare Facilities: India has many world-class hospitals and medical facilities that offer high-quality care
