Scoliosis is also known as scoliosis. Adult scoliosis is usually not serious in the early stage, but some serious symptoms will appear in the late stage, which may even affect the cardiopulmonary function, compress the spinal cord and cause paralysis, and the severity is usually judged by the degree of Cobb’s angle in clinical practice.
Scoliosis is mainly categorized into non-structural scoliosis and structural scoliosis. In the former case, scoliosis can be eliminated after the cause of the disease is eliminated, while in the latter case, scoliosis cannot be corrected by lying on the ground or bending on the side. Cobb’s angle of less than 20 degrees is usually not serious, and can be followed up on a regular basis, while postural abnormality and rigidity of the spine may occur with a cobb’s angle of 20 to 40 degrees.
Cobb’s angle greater than 40 degrees may present with difficulty walking, pain, and secondary pulmonary heart disease, which is usually more serious and requires prompt surgical treatment.
Patients need to intervene as soon as scoliosis is detected. If any discomfort occurs, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination and targeted treatment by the doctor.
