Appointment Helpline
The adult deformity is caused by age-related wear and tear on the back or complications from past surgeries. The moderate deformity occurs when the facet joints and discs deteriorate over time and are no longer able to support the spine's normal posture. Pain results from stressed joints and pinched nerves, not the abnormal curve.
Back or leg pain is the usual presenting complaints and can be treated by medications, physical therapy, injections, or surgery. Surgical options vary depending on the severity of the symptoms, the number of levels affected, and the type of deformity. Surgical options include decompression, decompression and instrumented fusion. Deformity correction is required when there is concomitant coronal or sagittal plane imbalance is present.
