    How is Scoliosis prevented?

    To prevent the development or worsening of this condition in patients, there are a few preventive measures one can take such as:

    • Bracing or casting for small periods in case of presence of symptoms of this condition to allow stabilization of the back muscles.
    • Get regular exercise to ensure uniform movement of the body.
    • Maintain a good posture at all times.
    • Maintain a healthy weight and eat nutritious food.

    What is the treatment for Scoliosis?

    The treatment for this condition is dependent on the type and severity of the disease. Some of the most common treatment strategies are:

    • Observation: It is recommended to observe if the condition worsens over time or is stable.
    • Medications: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications and anti-inflammatory injections are usually administered for relieving the pain that may be associated with this condition.
    • Braces: Patients are recommended to wear braces for a specific period to help in slowing or stopping the growth of the curve and prevent any further damage or discomfort to the patient.
    • Physical therapy: Mild exercises or massages are recommended to allow healing and to prevent any stress on the spine. They help in strengthening and stabilization of the back muscles.
    • Surgery: It is done to correct the curve back to normal. A spinal fusion is most commonly used. It is a technique in which several vertebrae are fused to initiate their growth and healing into a single bone. It is performed by using a combination of
      screws, hooks, and rods which hold the spine in place and helps in the prevention of formation of any further curvature.
