Scoliosis correction methods

Scoliosis can be corrected in a variety of ways, such as physical therapy, brace therapy, surgery, etc. 1. Physical therapy physiotherapists help correct scoliosis by strengthening the muscles around the spine through specific exercise exercises to improve muscle balance. Targeted stretching exercises relieve muscle tension and increase flexibility, while intensive training helps stabilize the spine. For example, some lateral bending and rotation exercises can focus on the scoliosis area. 2. Brace therapy For adolescents in growth and development, especially when the scoliosis angle is within a certain range, braces may be effective treatment. Brace can provide external support, limit further scoliosis, and guide the spine to grow in the right direction. The patient needs to wear braces for a long time and review them regularly to evaluate the effect.3. Surgical treatmentWhen scoliosis is severe enough to affect cardiopulmonary function or cause severe physical deformities and pain, surgical intervention may be required. Surgery corrects the curvature of the spine by inserting internal fixation and restores normal alignment and stability of the spine. Surgery is a complex treatment that requires a comprehensive assessment of risks and benefits. Regardless of the treatment chosen, regular review and monitoring are important. Imaging tests are used to assess the progression of scoliosis and adjust treatment options in a timely manner. This helps ensure the effectiveness of treatment and early detection of possible problems.
