Spinal Deformities treatment in Mazatlan

If you notice that a family member's back curves abnormally or that one shoulder sits higher than the other, it is worth having it checked by a specialist. Spinal deformities are alterations in the natural shape or alignment of the spine, such as scoliosis, kyphosis, or exaggerated lordosis.

Which specialist treats them? The neurosurgeon evaluates these alterations, especially when they affect nerve structures or require surgical correction, and decides on the most appropriate follow-up for each person.

Common signs: Visible curvature of the back, asymmetry of the shoulders or hips, pain and, in advanced cases, difficulty breathing.

When is it worth getting checked? When the curvature progresses, pain appears, or it is detected during growth stages. A timely evaluation helps you understand the extent of the problem; scheduling a visit with a professional is the best starting point.
