Scoliosis Treatment in Mumbai
Scoliosis surgery
Scoliosis Treatment in Mumbai is a transformative procedure aimed at correcting the abnormal sideways curvature of the spine, known as scoliosis. By addressing the underlying structural issues, scoliosis surgery aims to alleviate pain, improve function, and prevent further progression of the spinal deformity. This surgery is typically recommended for individuals with moderate to severe scoliosis, offering the promise of improved spinal alignment and enhanced quality of life.
Who needs scoliosis surgery?
- Moderate to severe spinal curvature: Surgery is typically considered for individuals with a spinal curvature exceeding a certain degree, often around 40-50 degrees or more.
- Persistent pain: Patients experiencing significant pain as a result of their scoliosis, which hasn’t responded to conservative treatments like physical therapy or pain management, may be candidates for surgery.
- Impaired function: Scoliosis can impact mobility, breathing, and overall quality of life. Surgery may be recommended for individuals whose scoliosis significantly limits their ability to perform daily activities.
- Progression of curvature: If the curvature of the spine continues to worsen despite non-surgical interventions, surgery may be necessary to prevent further deformity and complications.
- Adolescents with rapidly progressing curves: In some cases, especially with adolescents who have rapidly progressing curves, surgery may be recommended to prevent severe deformity and associated health issues.
- Risk factors: Patients with certain risk factors, such as underlying neuromuscular conditions like cerebral palsy or muscular dystrophy, may require surgery earlier due to the potential for more rapid progression of their scoliosis.
How do spine surgeons perform scoliosis surgery?
Scoliosis surgery is a procedure aimed at correcting abnormal spinal curvature. It begins with the patient under general anesthesia, ensuring unconsciousness and pain relief throughout the procedure. The surgeon accesses the spine through an incision in the back, utilizing specialized tools to realign the spine and potentially incorporating bone grafts for stability.
Following surgery, patients undergo careful monitoring and rehabilitation to facilitate recovery. This often involves pain management, physical therapy, and regular check-ups to assess the spine’s alignment. Despite individual variations in recovery times, many patients can resume their daily activities within a few months, experiencing significant improvements in pain relief and mobility as they regain function and stability in their spine. With recent advancement, minimally invasive methods have also been devised in the surgical treatment of scoliosis.
What is the recovery timeline for scoliosis surgery?
Patients typically begin walking the day after surgery, but they are required to wear a brace and avoid strenuous activities for approximately three months. Sports activities can usually be resumed around the six-month mark. Some patients may experience pain for up to three weeks post-surgery, but the majority are pain-free by the end of the first month. Bending forward and lifting heavy objects are restricted for the first three months after surgery. Most patients are able to return to an active and healthy lifestyle within three months following the procedure.
What is the success rate of scoliosis surgery?
The surgical correction of the spinal curvature typically ranges between 80% to 100%. Additionally, patient satisfaction rates are nearly 90%.
What are the benefits of scoliosis surgery?
- Correction of Spinal Curvature: Surgery aims to straighten the spine, improving overall spinal alignment and posture.
- Pain Relief: Many patients experience significant relief from pain associated with scoliosis following surgery.
- Improved Functionality: By correcting the curvature, surgery can enhance mobility and range of motion, allowing patients to perform daily activities more comfortably.
- Prevention of Progression: Surgery can halt the progression of scoliosis, preventing further curvature and potential complications.

Scans confirmed that she had severe sideways curved spine (scoliosis)
She was operated for the same at Synapse spine .
Her tilting improved significantly, was pain free and able to walk comfortably.
She’s now standing taller, straighter and has regained her self confidence.
Miracle Journey To Recovery
A brave 7-year-old’s world turned upside down when she couldn’t walk after a fall. She had complete weakness in the lower limbs. Her devoted father, her superhero, carried her everywhere—a sight that tugged at our hearts.
The cause of her condition was unravelled with an MRI, leading to a diagnosis of Lipomeningocele with Tethered Cord—a condition in which the spinal cord is abnormally attached to the tailbone, stretching painfully as she grew.
Determined to give her the childhood she deserved, we performed a life-changing surgery known as Detethering. This delicate procedure involved separating the spinal cord from its painful bind, allowing it to relax and gradually heal.
🌈 The transformation was nothing short of miraculous. Within a month, she showed remarkable improvement, and by the end of two months, she was walking, running, and playing like any other child her age—completely normal, completely free.
We at Synapse Spine Clinic routinely manage complex and challenging surgeries with an experienced team of surgeons renowned for their skills and exceptional surgical prowess. Trust us to deliver care that transforms lives and shapes futures.

I went to Dr Aditya through my friend’s recommendation for a second opinion. I went for my neck pain due to issues at different levels in my cervical spine. He clearly and humbly explained to me the problem i was facing. He could have simply recommended me for surgery instead he suggested me for therapy based on my symptoms. My condition is already improving without surgery.

Dr. Aditya Raj is not only an excellent doctor but also an excellent person who is kind, helpful and compassionate towards his patients and their families. He is not only knowledgeable but also approachable as I felt very comfortable asking questions and discussing my concerns. It was only after his assurance that I was confident to undergo the surgery that I had been avoiding for past 7 to 8 years due to the fear of aftermath of the surgery. And I am very thankful to dr. Aditya Raj for not just the successful surgery but also the care and attentiveness that he showed even after the surgery. He also calls the patients personally and checks on them. I would definitely recommend him to others who have spine problems.

Dr. Nandan Marathe is an amazing doctor!
I consulted him for severe back pain after being misdiagnosed with a slip disc by my previous doctor, who advised complete bed rest and put me on heavy medication that only left me drowsy with no real relief.
Dr. Marathe took one look at my X-ray and correctly identified it as a simple muscle spasm. He recommended physiotherapy and core strengthening instead of unnecessary treatments—and I started feeling better soon after.
He has also treated my mom, and we both had a great experience. He is extremely patient, listens carefully, and only advises what is truly needed. His approach is honest, practical, and effective. Highly recommended!

Thanks to Dr. Nandan Marathe and his team, my uncle has made a remarkable recovery and is now doing well. We truly appreciate his expertise and dedication. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of top-quality spine care!
