Spinal deviation is generally referred to as scoliosis, which is often not obvious in the early stages, but in severe cases, it may cause pulling or compression of the spinal cord and nerves, resulting in neurological symptoms. The spine is divided into cervical, thoracic, lumbar and sacrococcygeal vertebrae, and scoliosis affects different nerves in different parts of the spine.
1. Cervical spine: After cervical scoliosis occurs, it may lead to deformation of the cervical spine, thus compressing the nerves of the upper limbs or the cervical spinal cord.
2. Thoracic spine: Thoracic spine scoliosis may cause compression of the thoracic nerve roots, intercostal nerves, and the thoracic spinal cord to a certain extent.
3. Lumbar spine: After the lumbar spine is scoliotic, in severe cases, the cauda equina nerve or sciatic nerve will be pressed and symptoms will appear.
4. Sacrococcygeal spine: rarely scoliosis.
If scoliosis is found or diagnosed, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time and have standardized treatment under the doctor’s guidance so as not to delay the condition.
