Scoliosis is a spine curvature disorder that is most commonly diagnosed in teens. The spine has a natural forward-and-backward bend that commonly resembles an S or a C shape.
Spine or Vertebrae
Scoliosis is caused due to several factors, the majority of which are unknown. Some of the likely causes are as follows:
There are two types of treatments, which are surgical & nonsurgical.
Non-Surgical treatments- Includes physical therapy to strengthen muscles, analgesic medications, weight maintenance, postural training, staying active, striving to improve posture, daily stretching, etc.
Bracing and Surgical treatments- The use of back braces and surgical intervention are two options.
The following are some risk factors that can make a person's scoliosis worsen:
Mild, moderate, and severe are the stages of this disorder.
A physical examination, x-ray, spinal radiograph, CT scan, or MRI are commonly used to diagnose scoliosis. MRI scan offers detailed images of the body's organs and structures. X-rays are used to create a picture of your spine. A CT scan may produce a detailed image of any body portion, including bones, muscles, fat, and organs. It has more information than standard X-rays.
Most persons with scoliosis may lead regular lives and participate in most activities, including sports and exercise. Adult scoliosis prognosis varies based on the kind of scoliosis (idiopathic or degenerative) and the severity of symptoms. Untreated scoliosis can cause pain and deformity in the spine, which might impede one's ability to work and walk.
Scoliosis usually does not cause significant pain, risk, or other health issues. Most persons with this illness have normal lives, are physically active, and participate in sports. Braces work effectively for people with moderate scoliosis, and painkillers and regular exercise can be used as the first line of treatment. The doctor may propose surgical treatment depending on the degree of spine curvature/ Spinal balance/ propensity to worsen.
Scoliosis is a condition in which the vertebrae bend instead of straightening out. They can also rotate (twist) and produce a corkscrew-like side-to-side curvature. Small curves, or those with a lesser than 25 degrees diagnosis, rarely cause difficulties. Curves of 50 degrees and above are deemed severe.
Breathing problems, back problems, prolonged back pain, cosmetic concern are a few to enumerate. Lower self-esteem is also one of the complications. The person may become self-conscious about their appearance due to unequal hips and shoulders, noticeable ribs, and a shift in the waist and trunk.
