Every human spine has standard curves, and when looked from behind, it appears straight. However, people with scoliosis have an abnormal S-shaped or C-shaped spine curve. The curve can happen on either side of the spine and in different places.
In most people, the cause of scoliosis is unknown.
SCOLIOSIS
Healthcare providers don't know what causes the most common type of scoliosis — although it appears to involve hereditary factors, because the disorder sometimes runs in families. Less common types of scoliosis may be caused by:
- Certain neuromuscular conditions, such as cerebral palsy or muscular dystrophy.
- Birth defects affect the development of the bones of the spine.
- Previous surgery on the chest wall as a baby.
- Injuries or infections of the spine.
- Spinal cord irregularities.
- Bone degeneration
- Idiopathic scoliosis (unknown cause)
Risk factors
Risk factors for developing the most common type of scoliosis include:
- Age. Signs and symptoms typically begin in adolescence.
- Sex. Although boys and girls develop mild scoliosis at about the same rate, girls have a much higher risk of the curve worsening and requiring treatment.
- Family history. Although scoliosis can run in families, most children with the disease don't have a family history of the disease.
- Sideways curvature of the spine
- Sideways body posture
- One shoulder raised higher than the other
- Clothes not hanging properly
- Local muscular aches
- Local ligament pain
- They are decreasing pulmonary function, a primary concern in progressive severe scoliosis.
Complications
While most people with scoliosis have a mild form of the disorder, scoliosis may sometimes cause complications, including:
- Breathing problems. In severe scoliosis, the rib cage may press against the lungs, making it more difficult to breathe.
- Back problems. People who had scoliosis as children may be more likely to have chronic back pain as adults, especially if their curves are large and untreated.
Appearance. As scoliosis worsens, it can cause more noticeable changes — including uneven hips and shoulders, prominent ribs, and a shift of the waist and trunk to the side. People with scoliosis often become self-conscious about their appearance.
AIMS :
- Correct Guidance about the condition and its prognosis
- Autocorrection 3D
- Coordination
- Equilibrium
- Ergonomic corrections
- Increasing Muscular endurance/ strength
- Increasing Neuromotor control of the spine
- Working towards the flexibility of the spine
- Increasing respiratory capacity/ education
- Stabilization
Conservative Treatment
Physical therapy and bracing are used to treat milder forms of scoliosis to maintain cosmesis and avoid surgery.
- Bracing
When children's bones are still growing, and they have moderate scoliosis, the doctor may recommend a brace. A brace won't cure scoliosis or reverse the curve, but it usually prevents further progression.
- Physical exercises
- Electrotherapy for pain relief
- Using insoles in shoes
- Breathing exercise
- Scoliosis is usually confirmed through a physical examination, an x-ray, spinal radiograph, CT scan, or MRI.
The curve is measured by the Cobb Method and is diagnosed in severity by the number of degrees.
