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. Early detection of scoliosis is not obvious, especially when wearing clothes, and most scoliosis in adolescents is detected by parents when the child takes a bath or wears fewer clothes. If you find that your child has the following signs, be alert to whether he or she has scoliosis: 1, the neckline is not flat, one shoulder is higher than the other; 2, girls with asymmetrical breast development, the left side of the breast is often larger; 3, one side of the back bulge; waist side has a fold; one hip is higher than the other; 4, both sides of the lower limbs are not equal. If you have the above, you must be alert to whether the child’s spine has scoliosis problems.

So, what exactly should be done when you have scoliosis? At present, there are three main methods of scoliosis treatment 1, regular follow-up: for patients with mild scoliosis within 20°, generally reviewed every six months until the bone is mature. 2, brace treatment; applicable to patients with scoliosis within 20-40°, within 16 years of age, X-ray examination suggests good spinal flexibility. If scoliosis is found to increase during brace treatment, surgery should be considered. 3. Surgery: Patients with a degree of 45° or more, or patients with rapid progression of scoliosis in a short period of time or with heavy deformities in appearance. 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%. Typically, scoliosis patients can be on the floor 5-7 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 6-8 weeks after surgery, jogging in 3 months, and non-contact confrontational sports activities in about a year.
