When a young life is limited by a severe spinal deformity, every step forward is a victory. In a landmark case in Abu Dhabi, a 14-year-old girl living with a complex form of scoliosis has regained her posture, confidence, and mobility, thanks to a breakthrough surgical procedure performed at Danat Al Emarat Hospital for Women & Children. As a spine specialist deeply involved in such life-changing cases, I am proud to share the significance of this milestone and what it means for children with scoliosis everywhere.

Scoliosis is one of the most common spinal conditions affecting children and adolescents. While a mild curve might not cause major issues, unaddressed scoliosis can lead to long-term discomfort, mobility issues, or respiratory problems. Early detection and expert care from a spine specialist like Dr. Sandesh Lakkol, an experienced spine surgeon in Abu Dhabi, can make a significant difference in your child’s health and quality of life.
