Advanced Scoliosis Care at MIOT Centre for Spine Surgery

Scoliosis is not merely a cosmetic concern or a minor curvature of the spine. It is a complex three-dimensional spinal deformity that can significantly affect posture, growth, organ function, and psychological wellbeing particularly in children and adolescents during their growth years.

At MIOT Centre for Spine Surgery, scoliosis is approached with precision, planning, and deep clinical expertise, transforming complex curves into balanced, functional spines and restoring confidence along the way.

Understanding Scoliosis: More Than an “S” Shape


Scoliosis is characterised by an abnormal sideways curvature of the spine, often forming an “S” or “C” shape. While mild cases may only require observation, progressive or severe scoliosis can lead to:

  • Chronic back pain
  • Uneven shoulders or hips
  • Rib prominence and visible deformity
  • Fatigue and reduced physical endurance
  • Breathing difficulties due to lung compression
  • Cardiac impact in severe thoracic curves
  • Psychological distress and reduced self-esteem

In growing children, untreated scoliosis can worsen rapidly during growth spurts, making early diagnosis and timely intervention crucial.

A 6-Year-Old from Zanzibar – Early Intervention, Lifelong Impact

A young child from Zanzibar presented with back pain and visibly uneven posture that was beginning to affect her daily activities and play. Detailed evaluation confirmed progressive scoliosis at a crucial growth stage.

Timely corrective surgery not only controlled curve progression but also preserved her spinal growth and overall development. Today, she enjoys a normal, active childhood — free from pain and limitation.

A 19-Year-Old from Seychelles – An Aspiring Swimmer’s Confidence Restored

For this young athlete from Seychelles, a noticeable spinal curvature began to interfere with her sporting aspirations and self-confidence. The deformity was becoming more pronounced, affecting posture, endurance, and comfort in fitted clothing.

Following comprehensive clinical assessment and precision surgical correction, spinal balance was successfully restored. She has since returned to swimming with renewed confidence and physical strength.

A 14-Year-Old from Seychelles – From Isolation to Empowerment

Severe scoliosis had significantly impacted this teenager’s posture, school attendance, and social life. As the curvature progressed, so did her emotional distress and withdrawal from activities she once enjoyed.
