Scoliosis Treatment for Children at King’s College Hospital London in Dubai
Scoliosis causes the spine to curve sideways and can appear at different stages of childhood. Many children do not feel pain as the curve develops, which makes early detection important. At King’s College Hospital London in Dubai, we provide specialized assessment and treatment for scoliosis in children and teenagers, using conservative care, bracing and advanced surgical techniques when needed.
What does scoliosis treatment involve?
Treatment depends on your child’s age, growth stage and the size of the spinal curve. Mild curves often need only observation, while progressing curves may require bracing. When the curve becomes severe or continues to worsen, surgery may be recommended. Our approach is individualized to support both the spine and your child’s overall growth.
Your care step by step
- Review of medical history and growth stage
- Physical examination and scoliometer measurement
- Standing X-rays to measure the curve
- Observation, bracing or surgical planning
- Follow-up and rehabilitation to support recovery
When should you see us?
You should bring your child for a scoliosis evaluation if you notice uneven shoulders, a tilted pelvis, one shoulder blade sticking out or if clothing fits unevenly. Scoliosis is often found during routine school screenings, but any visible asymmetry or rapid growth should prompt a specialist assessment.
What scoliosis conditions do we treat at King’s College Hospital Dubai?
We diagnose and treat all major types of scoliosis in children and young adults, including:
- Non-structural scoliosis caused by posture, leg length differences or muscle spasm
- Structural scoliosis caused by vertebral abnormalities
- Congenital scoliosis such as hemivertebra
- Neuromuscular scoliosis caused by muscular or neurological conditions
- Idiopathic scoliosis in infants, juveniles and adolescents
We also evaluate spinal rigidity, growth potential and curve progression to guide treatment.
