Kyphoscoliosis
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Kyphoscoliosis is a spinal deformity that combines two abnormal curvatures: one forward (kyphosis) and another to the sides (scoliosis). The result is a spine with deviation in more than one plane.
Which specialist treats it? The orthopedic surgeon evaluates the curvature and the pediatric orthopedic surgeon follows up in children, while the physical therapist and rehabilitation medicine support functional management.
Common symptoms: A visibly curved back, uneven shoulders or uneven shoulders and hips, back pain, and, in advanced cases, difficulty breathing.
When to see the doctor? It is advisable to have it checked if a progressing curvature, trunk asymmetry, or persistent discomfort is noticed. A professional evaluation helps understand the extent of the deviation and define the appropriate follow-up.
