Question

scoliosis is a deformity, where there is a lateral curve of the spine. as a resut you develop a hump and a lot of other complications

Answer 1

I have scoliosis and kyphosis [hump]. However I went to Pilates, with a physiotherapist and she really got me into exercise and strengthening the back muscles. Look it is not easy and I cannot count the number of times I was willing to throw the towel in. How bad? Well one night in bed both legs took off vertically and started heading for my head, much to my surprise. I had no control whatsoever, pretty scary. After that we had the 'nocturnal' sit ups, where my body would sit up and I would then wake up, figure out what I had been doing. I no longer sleep with a pillow under my head, I am now aware of my posture than ever before and the clothing fits, no longer lopsided or crumpled up around my hump. I have managed to 'retrain' the muscles to hold the spine straight, or as straight as I can get it, but it took nine months and it was real hard grueling work, but worth it. I now do the exercises at home without fail.

Answer 2

I dont know how applicable this will be for you, presuming you are a young person.
2 years ago, my then 80 year old dad who has always had lower back problems but is otherwise fit; returned after a long journey in an almost paralysed condition. The MRI disclosed scoliosis of the spine. Due to his advanced age, surgery was ruled out completely. The orthopaedic doctor who is known to us for many years simply told my Dad to somehow manage with initial bed rest for 3 months and yoga based back exercises as he has been doing all these years. The Dr said that scoliosis does not develope overnight, it must have been there for many years but was not detected. At the same time there was an ad in the papers about the Coimbatore Arya Vaidya Pharmacy back specialist visiting the Ayush clinic close to our house. So my mother took my Dad's MRI report to him and he also prescribed the same bed rest, exercises. Additionally he gave Dhanvantari thailam and some other Ayurvedic oral medicines and oils. It took about 6 months for my Dad to start his daily walks again. Today he drives, goes for daily walks and does everything he used to do. Of course he has to be careful not to overly exert himself but that is a small price to pay considering what could have happened. Ayush can be contacted on www.leverayush.com
Coimbatore Arya Vaidya Pharmacy details are available on the internet, you could contact them directly for your problem or find out from Ayush in your city when the Dr is visiting next. Best wishes.

Answer 3

It really depends on how severe the curve is. I know 2 people with scoliosis. One has to sometimes wear a back brace but also plays sports and has no other problems. The other had back surgery when she stopped growing, and has metal rods that support her spine. She lives pretty much normally now, except she can't carry textbooks in a backpack or anything heavy like that.

Answer 4

you're saying treatment as though scoliosis is a ailment. Scoliosis in the huge majority of circumstances is a congenital anomaly. In different words some thing that stepped forward of course and extremely early on. for my area it would not would desire to be "cured" you in basic terms could manage the indications as they arrive. The area curves and rotation of the backbone tend to offer an instability or in different words an annoying condition. Chiropractic does an mind-blowing interest of reducing the discomfort of scoliosis as nicely as recuperating spinal mobility which could be decreased with scoliosis.

Answer 5

It really does depend on the severity, but yes, there are cures.

If it is mild- visiting a chiropractor can slowly correct it (this is what i did and i have the x-rays to prove it worked)
if more serious a brace can be worn under clothes.
if deforming, th spine can be fused together straight with a rib or with a metal bar (only in extreme cases)

and some people can just grow out of it.

Answer 6

Check the site: www.scoliosis.org Try massage therapy or there are some orthopaedic surgeons trained in bone manipulation. Surgery may be the last resort but take not only second, third opinion before you opting for surgery.

Answer 7

Back braces prevent long term damage to people with scoliosis, but no there is no cure,a nd surgery wouold be too much,a nd pointless as well

Answer 8

No cure exists yet...several options depending on your severity...something over 50 degrees or so would be surgical case...often good correction can be expected and patients lead happy full life...

below 50...bracing..however, there are braces like Spinecor which allows majority of patients to receive stable correction..probably the closest thing to cure of what we have so far...check it out at http://www.myscoliosis.net

My friend is a doctor,she says best way is surgery.
