Informative Post - Scoliosis
A condition when the spine deviates from its usual structure, developing either a side curve and/or trunk rotation1-3.
The most common form of scoliosis - Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, usually does not present with pain, and in its early stages, any cosmetic deformity is often very subtle and may not be visibly apparent, hence early detection is key.
Management usually involves 4-6 monthly intervals examinations for minor curvatures (less than 20 degrees), bracing for moderate curvatures (20 – 40 degrees), and ultimately surgical interventions for severe (beyond 40 degrees) and/or rapidly progressing curvatures, as well as individuals developing pathological compensations such as severe spinal pain, compromise of heart and/or lung functions1,2.
Unlike many other countries, Malaysia does not have physical examination screenings in school to detect juvenile and adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. As such, at Touch Health, we encourage and educate parents to have their school aged child’s spine check regularly. This will allow us to help detect any form of scoliosis early and work with the parents and child to improve spinal health and postural awareness.
In the case of a true adolescent idiopathic scoliosis diagnosis, chiropractic treatment aims to assist in monitoring curve progressions, manage compensations developed due to the primary scoliotic curvature, educate parents and child about exercises & stretches that will help provide spinal stability, mobility and prevent long term compensatory effects.
However, it is also important to note that not all curvatures of the spine are idiopathic scoliosis, and proper check-up by a qualified professional is important to pick-up other causes of scoliosis, i.e functional or degenerative scoliosis.
