Scoliosis, or curvature of the spine is a condition that affects many people, and it is sad to say, most of them young . The type of curvature of the spine that affects the young is called idiopathic [ meaning no known cause ] the average age of the early onset of this type of scoliosis is seven years to adolescence.
My son John was diagnosed with idiopathic scoliosis when I was 13. John played basketball and had a lot of pain during training and during the Games. We took him to a specialist in the back and said we had the wrong type of idiopathic scoliosis with the curvature in the upper back. The surgery is not an option because of the location of the curve to be the base of the spinal cord . Doctors feared the risk of paralysis was high.
John is now 39 and has been to many, many doctors in the hope of some kind of treatment to get some sort of relief from the pain associated with their condition. He is now in some drugs against pain and do some physical therapy helped reduce pain. Scoliosis has many names and different causes. Neuromuscular scoliosis to the muscles or abnormal nerves.
Spina bifida and cerebral palsy , or conditions involving or leading to paralysis of this type would be . Congenital scoliosis is caused by abnormalities in the bones and is almost always present at birth. Degenerative scoliosis is caused by a disease, and results in the collapse of the bone.
Chest, we have what causes scoliosis is called the thoracic scoliosis and is described as a lateral curvature of the spine, the spine is considered abnormal if we have this condition.
This condition causes disfiguring because when the spine curves to the side, the vertebrae ( bones of the spine) become twisted and pull the ribs round with them, it is usually a "bulge" in the back and make blade projects and form a hump .
Surgery is the only way to solve most types of scoliosis. New technology has made it possible for most patients to correct scoliosis bent and twisted spines , and lead a happy and productive life.
For those who are less fortunate on new drugs against pain prescription and natural remedies that can help eliminate or reduce the pain of a better quality of life . Therapy and inversion tables have also proven effective in controlling pain.
I wish you all the scoliosis and back pain sufferers blessings of God and healing.
