Scoliosis Management; Based on the Severity of the Condition and Physical Development of the Patient

Scoliosis management can be accomplished in three ways: surgery, bracing, or observation, depending on the severity of the condition and the patient's physical development. Scoliosis is a medical disease in which the spine curves abnormally and is most commonly diagnosed in teens. Men and women are almost equally prone to develop moderate scoliosis, but women are 5 to 10 times more likely to develop severe scoliosis, which may necessitate treatment. The treatment, however, is determined by the severity of the curve and the risk of it worsening. If surgery is required, orthopedists or neurosurgeons are frequently consulted.

Physiotherapy is an useful treatment option for scoliosis management. To prevent surgery and maintain cosmesis, minor scoliosis is treated with physical therapy and bracing. Mild scoliosis is frequently treated simply with scoliosis-specific physical therapy, medical supervision, exercise, and chiropractic care from a chiropractic scoliosis specialist. Yoga is also recommended for some persons in order to develop flexibility and reduce pain. While massage therapy cannot fix the underlying problem, it has been shown in studies to provide temporary relief from scoliosis pain and other symptoms.
