How is congenital scoliosis treated?

summary

Congenital scoliosis is a kind of spinal deformity, which does great harm to patients, and because it is difficult to appear in the early stage, it can not be detected and treated in the early stage. In fact, for this kind of congenital spinal deformity, the treatment effect and method must be determined according to the severity of the disease. Generally, the effect of early treatment is much better than that of late treatment. So let's take a look at how to treat congenital scoliosis.

How is congenital scoliosis treated?

Generally speaking, the progress of congenital scoliosis is faster, so if we can correct the scoliosis in the early stage, we can basically correct the scoliosis deformity, and timely treatment can avoid the serious impact on cardiopulmonary function caused by the increase of scoliosis angle. However, this kind of congenital scoliosis has no effect on Gymnastics therapy, physical therapy, exercise therapy, electrical stimulation therapy, etc., so we should choose the appropriate treatment.

For the treatment of scoliosis, if the deformity angle is less than 20 degrees, it can be corrected by observation and exercise, such as pull-up, swimming and so on. For patients with deformity angle between 20 degrees and 40 degrees, the most effective treatment is brace therapy. However, the indications of brace therapy are limited, such as immature, gradually aggravating deformity, and patients with long scoliosis segment are suitable for brace therapy.

Like that causes a side bend less than 50 °， The flexibility is more than 50, the effect of general brace is good, and the lateral curvature is less than 50 °～ seventy-five ° But the contralateral curvature is more than 75 °， If the flexibility is less than 25, the brace treatment is generally ineffective. In this case, prompt surgery is recommended.

matters needing attention

For patients with congenital scoliosis, we must timely check and see a doctor, according to the degree of scoliosis to develop appropriate treatment plan, in order to prevent the delay of treatment, resulting in aggravation of the disease, thus increasing the difficulty of treatment, will also bring greater harm to patients.
