SCOLIOSIS

Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine that mostly occurs much more often during the growth in spurt just before the stage of puberty. While Scoliosis can be caused by such conditions as cerebral palsy and muscular dystrophy, the cause of most Scoliosis is still unknown. About 3% of adolescents on average have Scoliosis.

Most cases observed in adolescents are Scoliosis mild, but some spine deformities continue to get more severe as children grow. Scoliosis can sometimes be disabling. An especially severe spinal curve can initially reduce with the chest amount, making it much more difficult for the lungs to function properly.

Children who have had mild Scoliosis are monitored closely, usually with the scanned X-ray reports, to see if that spinal curve is getting much worse. In many cases, no treatment usually is necessary. Some of the children will be required to wear a brace to stop the curve from worsening. Others may need to have the surgery to keep the Scoliosis from worsening much more and to straighten with severe scoliosis cases.

• Symptoms of Scoliosis

The main signs and symptoms for Scoliosis commonly include:

• Uneven shoulders: One shoulder may blade that appears more prominent than the other one.

• Uneven waist: One hip became higher than the other one. If this spinal scoliosis curve gets much worse, the spine may also rotate or even get the twist, again with the curving it as side to side. This causes the ribs to pile on one side of the body to stick that out farther than on the other side of it.
