How to correct idiopathic scoliosis

Idiopathic scoliosis, i.e. idiopathic scoliosis, can generally be corrected by wearing braces, exercise, surgery, etc. 1. Wearing braces For adolescent patients with idiopathic scoliosis between 20 ° and 40 °, customized braces can be used for correction. The brace should be worn for more than 16 hours a day, and should be replaced as the age increases until the bones are mature. During the wearing of the brace, patients should follow the doctor's advice and check regularly. 2. Exercise For patients with scoliosis below 40 °, while wearing braces, they can also exercise swimming, hanging horizontal bars, etc. appropriately, and assist in correcting idiopathic scoliosis by strengthening the contraction of convex muscles. 3. Surgery If braces are worn, exercise therapy is not effective, or idiopathic scoliosis is more than 40 °, the patient should undergo surgery as soon as possible. The specific surgical method needs to be selected according to the specific conditions of the patient. For example, bone graft fusion is suitable for patients with spinal cord compression, and non-fusion spinal orthopedic fixation is only suitable for young children who cannot undergo bone fusion. It should be noted that each person's condition and constitution are different, so specific corrective programs need to be carried out under the guidance of doctors.
