Your spine is the backbone of your body, supporting movement, posture, and overall health. But when spinal deformities occur—causing abnormal curvature and pain—your quality of life can be dramatically affected. If you’re suffering from issues like scoliosis, kyphosis, or lordosis, it’s time to consult a leading orthopedic spine surgeon. Dr. Manojkumar Gaddikeri, a highly skilled spine surgeon trained under the ASSI Spine fellowship program at Lilavati Hospital, Mumbai, specializes in complex deformity surgery. He combines years of experience with advanced techniques to offer personalized treatments that restore mobility and ease pain.

Why Spinal Deformities Matter: The Impact on Your Life

The spine’s structure is essential for stability and function, but when deformities develop, they can lead to significant health problems. From severe pain and poor posture to reduced mobility and even breathing difficulties, spinal deformities can affect every aspect of life. Dr. Gaddikeri provides state-of-the-art complex deformity surgery to correct spinal abnormalities, helping patients regain control of their health and wellbeing.

Common Types of Spinal Deformities Dr. Gaddikeri Treats

Spinal deformities come in many forms, each with its own set of challenges. Understanding these conditions can help you make an informed decision about treatment. Here are some of the most common deformities Dr. Gaddikeri treats with precision and care:

• Scoliosis: Abnormal Side-to-Side Curvature: Scoliosis is a condition where the spine curves abnormally to the side, often creating an “S” or “C” shape when viewed from behind. This lateral curvature can lead to back pain, difficulty walking, and even breathing problems in severe cases. Dr. Gaddikeri uses advanced spinal deformity surgery techniques to straighten the spine, reducing pain and improving posture.
• Lordosis: Excessive Curvature in the Lower Back: Lordosis, commonly known as “swayback,” occurs when there is an exaggerated inward curve of the lower back. This can cause significant discomfort, lower back pain, and poor posture. Lordosis surgery aims to correct the curvature and restore the spine’s natural alignment, helping patients find relief from chronic pain.
• Kyphosis: Rounded or Hunched Upper Back: Kyphosis is marked by an abnormal outward curve in the upper back, often referred to as a “hunched” or “rounded” back. This condition can result in severe back pain, stiffness, and even difficulty breathing in some cases. Dr. Gaddikeri’s expertise in kyphosis surgery can correct the curvature, alleviating pain and enhancing posture.
• Bent Spine Syndrome (Camptocormia): Forward Bending of the Spine: Bent spine syndrome, or camptocormia, is often seen in elderly patients and causes the lower back to bend forward at a 45-degree angle. This can make it difficult to stand up straight or walk comfortably. Bent spine surgery can help straighten the spine and improve mobility, bringing relief to those affected by this condition.
