Scoliosis is often found in adolescents between the ages of 10 and 14, because this is the second growth spurt in a person’s life, and the spine grows faster. Scoliosis is not easily detected in the early stages of scoliosis. Early abnormalities in the appearance of scoliosis are not obvious, especially when wearing clothes. If you find your child has the following signs, be alert to whether he is suffering from scoliosis: uneven neckline, one shoulder is higher than the other; girls with asymmetric breast development, the left side of the breast is often larger; one side of the back bulge; one side of the waist has a fold; one side of the hip is higher than the other side; both sides of the lower limbs are not equal. At this point, you can do some simple checks on your child, such as touching the spine’s spines with your hand to see if they are in a straight line, or having your child stand upright and bend forward to see if the back is symmetrical. If, after a simple examination, you find that your child has an abnormality, you should go to the hospital immediately. There are three ways to treat scoliosis Specialists examine patients with scoliosis, often starting with a medical history and physical examination. Some medical histories are helpful in making a diagnosis, such as scoliosis in patients with neurofibromatosis, which is a genetic disorder, and congenital scoliosis, which is often associated with congenital heart disease, urinary malformations, and neurological lesions. In addition to routine cosmetic examination, neurological examination is essential to observe the presence of sensory and motor disorders. Sensory separation usually suggests the possibility of spinal cord hollowing, and examination of abdominal wall reflexes and pathological reflexes is an item that every scoliosis patient should be examined; neglecting these tests can sometimes have disastrous consequences. Some parents find their children have scoliosis is very nervous, and even overwhelmed, often everywhere, there are calcium supplements, massage massage orthopedic, wearing a brace undershirt, in short, heard what works, take the child to treatment, the results have little effect. So, how to treat scoliosis in the end? At present, there are three main methods of treatment for scoliosis, namely 1, regular follow-up; 2, brace treatment; 3, surgical treatment. The most common clinical condition is idiopathic scoliosis, the cause of which is still unclear, as opposed to congenital scoliosis caused by vertebral deformities and neuromuscular scoliosis caused by neuromuscular lesions. The doctor will choose the treatment according to the different degrees of idiopathic scoliosis. If scoliosis is found to worsen during brace treatment, surgery will need to be considered. Scoliosis patients should be treated promptly Generally, scoliosis occurs mostly in the thoracolumbar segment and may result in pulmonary dysfunction, such as severe thoracic deformity, most of which have restrictive ventilation disorders, and cardiac dysfunction may also occur as scoliosis worsens. Some patients with scoliosis have significant trunk deviation and unequal shoulders, which generally do not require immediate surgery. Scoliosis is in most cases a benign lesion that develops slowly, and most can be treated with elective surgery. What are the risks of surgery? Will it cause paralysis? These are usually the main concerns. The likelihood of paralysis after scoliosis surgery is almost zero, and the incidence of complications such as wound infection is only 0.5-1%. Usually, scoliosis patients can be on the floor 3-4 days after surgery and are discharged from the hospital within 1-2 weeks. With the current medical technology, most patients can do exercises such as swimming 4-6 weeks after surgery, jogging in 3 months, and non-contact confrontational sports activities in about a year. In conclusion, scoliosis surgery should be an effective and safe procedure for an experienced and specialized physician.
