What are the dangers of scoliosis?

  The dangers of scoliosis are more serious and are generally talked about in these terms: 1. The effect on the shape. It usually causes a hunchback (i.e., a bulge in the back), which is commonly known as a rosette.  2, if the scoliosis is particularly serious, it is a more serious harm. Of course, this is also limited, such as scoliosis only in the thoracic segment, may only affect the heart and lung function, the lumbar segment may not be affected, when the thoracic bend reaches 100 degrees, only then will cause the heart, lungs, respiratory system, these important organs of the harm, the human life expectancy will also be harmful.  3, there are some special scoliosis will be combined to the kyphosis, it may compress the spinal cord, resulting in spinal cord dysfunction, that is, paralysis.  4, the psychological harm. Some patients may exhibit psychosocial problems, such as discrimination, low self-esteem, depression, etc.  5. Some of them may develop progressively, causing non-stop aggravation at a later stage. We believe that adults generally less than 30 degrees, is unlikely to progress again, the thoracic spine sometimes more than 40 degrees, 50 degrees, there will be progress, so this harm are present.
