Parkinson’s scoliosis can be corrected by spinal arthrodesis, with some corrective exercises, to reduce the angle of scoliosis and resolve the symptoms of pain and nerve compression. When the situation is serious, surgery is needed.
Patients can consciously carry out muscle exercises, such as stretching movements of the hands and lateral movements of the body. Self-correction of posture can be done with the help of a mirror. Corrective insoles and orthotics can also be used for correction.
Patients need to pay attention to their daily life, alternating between left and right when lifting heavy objects, and it is best to use a double-shoulder backpack. Try to keep the concave side of the spine in contact with the bed when sleeping, which can relax the muscles on the concave side and improve spasm, thus improving the symptoms of scoliosis.
If you need to sit for a long time, you must sit in a chair with a backrest, and the angle of the back of the chair should not be greater than 115 degrees, the buttocks and the back of the chair must be close together, it is best to add a lumbar pad in the lumbar region, so as to better maintain the normal curvature of the lumbar spine.
If the scoliosis is more serious and seriously affects the patient’s daily life, surgery can be considered to correct it.
Parkinson’s patients with scoliosis should consult a doctor in time, under the guidance of a professional doctor for treatment and rehabilitation.
