In other words, scoliosis<\/strong> is a serious, progressive condition, not just a minor issue with posture, as it is often misunderstood. 80% of diagnosed scoliosis-like deformities<\/strong> are actually unrelated to true scoliosis. It is often confused with posture problems, such as slouching, asymmetry of the chest, or insufficient spinal curvatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Scoliosis cannot be accurately diagnosed without performing X-rays in two planes<\/strong>. Only after that can a doctor draw conclusions and provide individual recommendations. On an X-ray, the level of skeletal development, the exact angle of vertebral misalignment, the curvature of the vertebrae in different planes, and pelvic positioning are clearly visible. In more complex cases, doctors may recommend CT (computed tomography)<\/strong> and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging)<\/strong>. For detailed examination, when scoliosis is complicated by internal organ diseases, additional tests like electrocardiography (ECG)<\/strong>, abdominal ultrasound (US)<\/strong>, and consultations with specialized doctors may be required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Treatment Methods and Tactics for Juvenile Idiopathic Scoliosis Patients:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A spinal curvature of up to 10 degrees<\/strong> is considered physiological asymmetry and does not require special treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Surgical Strategy for Patients with Juvenile Idiopathic Scoliosis under 12 Years:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Minimally invasive technique<\/strong> \u2013 correction through two incisions of no more than 5 cm, with the subcutaneous insertion of corrective rods and subsequent deformation correction every 1-2 years by 1-1.5 cm through a 3-5 cm incision at the connector site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Deformation correction using a device developed and applied in our clinic<\/strong>, which blocks the convex side and preserves the ability for growth on the concave side (Patent MD. 77).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Clinical Case:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A 8-year-old patient<\/strong> with idiopathic scoliosis, Stage IV<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thus, I want to emphasize that scoliosis cannot be treated at home. It is a condition that is difficult to treat and does not resolve on its own. Therapeutic exercises, posture correctors, massage, or spinal adjustments often only worsen the situation \u2014 the process of deformation accelerates. As for manual therapists, when they \u201cadjust\u201d the spine in cases of true scoliosis, they further destabilize the spinal column, which speeds up the deformational processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If your child has been diagnosed with scoliosis, you should regularly visit an orthopedic traumatologist. The frequency of visits is determined on an individual basis. In the absence of complaints and medical indications, visits should be made every 6-12 months during periods of rapid growth. Take care of yourselves and your children!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The diagnosis of “scoliosis” is made in almost every second school child during routine medical exams at children’s clinics or schools. So, most people have heard of it, if not all. However, it is important to understand that posture problems, slouching, and scoliosis are not the same thing.

The treatment methods for scoliosis in children depend on how advanced the condition is. The earlier scoliosis is diagnosed in a child, the easier and more effective it can be treated. There are many cases where severe forms of scoliosis could have been prevented if prophylactic treatment had started early.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was once believed that when scoliosis was detected in a child under the age of 10, conservative treatment<\/strong> (like bracing<\/strong>) should be initiated, with bracing continuing until the child reached 14-16 years old<\/strong>, followed by surgical intervention<\/strong> only afterward. Unfortunately, this approach often led to the development of severe, non-operable<\/strong> deformities by the age of 13-14, with significant dysfunction of the internal organs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/ro.cvot.md\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/2-5.jpg\")
