Geneva: symptoms, causes and treatment
Scoliosis Under the care of the right situation, the backbone is straight when you look back or from the front, in exchange in the case of scoliosis, a spine in the spine to one side of the body and the twins often occur during the accelerated growth period in adolescence. The scoliosis has a specific genetic tendency and can be worse and dangerous among women. Although estimates indicate that 2% – 3% of the population is suffering from scoliosis, but acute cases to the point that require treatment are only 0.01%. Symptoms of defense include symptoms as follows: Height of uneven shoulders. One shoulder tablet is more prominent than the other. The waistline is unstable. The height of the thighs is different. Severe pain behind. The causes and factors of the risk of scoliosis in most cases of scoliosis are unknown causes, but many cases would cause scoliosis: congenital warp in the spine building. A nervous system infection causes different forms of paralysis or many muscle diseases such as cerebral palsy and muscle atrophy. Various spine injuries due to an accident or disease such as osteoporosis and arthritis. Structural problems The complications of the scoliosis in difficult cases can arise in the work of the organs in the thoracic cage, especially the heart and lungs, which can lead to shortness of breath, pneumonia, and in difficult cases it can be the failure of congestive heart failure. Diagnosis of scoliosis, in addition to the symptoms previously described, that can be seen, but in the case of the suspicion of a disorder or another defect that causes the scoliosis, the final diagnosis must be determined by performing the following: X -riders. Computerized tomography. MRI. Bone recording. The treatment of scoliosis is in most cases easy and does not need treatment, but only to follow up every 4-6 months once, to investigate whether any aggravation of the scoliosis occurs. 1.. The factors affecting the decision -therapy about the need to start treating the scoliosis are taken on the basis of: how difficult its condition and its severity: depending on the angle of the scoliosis measured in the photo. The gender of the injured: There is usually a tendency to treat the injured girls at an early stage, as the risk of exacerbation of their scoliosis is greater. Figure: Separation that is in the form of the letter (s) is more likely to worsen; So you prefer to treat it at an early stage. The location of the scoliosis: The more the scoliosis is in an area above the spine, the more the treatment needs. Bone age: The smaller the age of the leg, the more aggravated. 2. Methods of treating scoliosis If deciding to treat scoliosis, there are two main methods of treatments: The medical belt is the preferred way in the less difficult cases and when the fear of exacerbation of the condition is, where the belt is carried during the day and night and it works on the opposite direction of the direction of the scoliosis. It can be removed to do a specific activity, but it is important to carry it for the longest period to pick the maximum benefit from it, and the belt prevents the situation from deteriorating and at the end of growth it can be stopped. The surgical operation in the most serious cases and problems can be used for the surgical procedure through which several vertebrae with iron or bone pieces are installed; This is to prevent vertebrae from continuing. During the process, the angle of the spine can also be slightly changed, but it is not possible to reach a completely straight spine. Other treatments Some treatments have shown that they have the ability to prevent the decline and aggravation of certain cases of scoliosis, including: manual (chiropractic treatment). Biofeedback. Electric warning of the muscle. Sports activity. Prevention of scoliosis cannot prevent scoliosis.
