What are the degrees of scoliosis?

The degree of scoliosis is measured used for numerical recording, as the spine of the individual is curved. In diagnosing various severity of scoliosis, doctors measure the degree of difference between the normal spine and deviation of the patient's spine from this standard. Low degrees of scoliosis indicate that the spine is not very curved and high degrees of scoliosis suggest that the spine is seriously curved. A slight curve at the beginning of development does not necessarily mean that the child will be diagnosed with scoliosis later in life; It is possible that a slight curve does not deteriorate as the child develops. However, it is also possible that the degree of scoliosis increases and the curve deteriorates. In accordance with this, most doctors regularly check children for scoliosis as part of a routine physical test.

A slight curve is generally considered to be 10 to 20 degrees of scoliosis. Usually, this amount of spine curvature may not be treated if there are no signs of progression. Doctors could decide to carefully monitor the patient to make sure that the degree of scoliosis continues to increaseIt creates and creates a more drastic curvature of the spine.

If progression is progressed to a greater degree of scoliosis, further measures are most likely to be taken. The degree of scoliosis between 20 and 50 is considered a slight scoliosis and can usually be treated with the rear orthosis. The rear braces are best suited for the treatment of mild scoliosis because they cannot reverse the curvature of the spine, only prevent too much deterioration by holding the spine firmly. The type of orthosis and the time it should be warned is unique for each P and should be determined by a doctor.

The

degree of scoliosis above 50 usually indicates a heavy curve in the spine. Severe cases of scoliosis may require surgery to keep the patient comfort and good health. Dramatically curved spine has the potential to cause heart and lung problems, as well as discomfort and back pain. Inserting steel bars into the spineis a surgical method used to repair serious cases. This procedure prevents further scoliosis and can also reduce the curvature of the spine to reduce health risks.
