Scoliosis treatment in Baku and Azerbaijan

Orthopedic assessment, exercise programmes, bracing for teenagers and surgery for severe curves.

Scoliosis treatment in Baku starts with an orthopedic spine specialist, who examines the back, measures the curve on full-length X-rays and takes into account age and how much growth is left. Many mild curves only need regular observation and exercise. In children and teenagers who are still growing, the doctor watches closely for progression and may recommend a brace.

Surgery is considered for severe curves or curves that keep progressing, and only after full tests. Adults with scoliosis often come for back pain, and rehabilitation or a Naftalan course outside an acute episode may be offered for it. The doctor confirms the plan and its length after examination. We review your X-rays, send a written estimate and arrange the visa and transfers.

Where treatment takes place

Who it may suit

  • Children and teenagers with scoliosis who need an assessment and a treatment plan
  • Parents who want a second opinion on bracing or surgery for their child
  • Adults with scoliosis and back pain
  • Patients with a severe or progressing curve who need a surgical opinion
  • Patients after scoliosis surgery who need rehabilitation

When the trip should wait

  • A curve that appears suddenly with pain, fever, weakness or numbness should first be examined by a local doctor
  • Naftalan procedures are not prescribed for cancer, severe heart failure, blood disorders, acute infections or during pregnancy
  • A brace needs regular check-ups, so families should plan follow-up with a specialist at home or repeat visits

The final decision is always made by the doctor after reviewing your documents.

Frequently asked questions

Is scoliosis treated in Baku?

Yes, orthopedic spine specialists in Baku assess and treat scoliosis in children and adults. Depending on age, growth and the curve, the plan may include observation, exercise therapy, a brace or, in selected cases, surgery. The doctor explains the options after reviewing the X-rays.

When is scoliosis surgery needed?

Surgery is usually discussed for severe curves or curves that keep progressing despite a brace or exercise, and sometimes when the curve causes significant pain or affects breathing. The spine surgeon decides after a full examination and tests. Many people with scoliosis never need an operation.

Can a brace be made during a short visit?

A brace is made and fitted individually, which usually takes several days, and it needs regular check-ups while the child grows. Before travelling we clarify the timing with the clinic and discuss how follow-up will be organised, at home or with repeat visits.

Does Naftalan help with scoliosis?

Naftalan does not straighten the spine. For adults with scoliosis and chronic back pain outside an acute episode, a Naftalan course may be offered to ease pain and stiffness, and some patients feel better afterwards, although results vary. The resort physician decides after an examination.

How much does scoliosis treatment cost?

The cost depends on the plan, whether an assessment, an exercise programme, a brace or surgery, and on the length of stay. After reviewing the X-rays we send a written estimate listing everything included. You can also book an online consultation with a doctor before travelling.
