Juvenile idiopathic scoliosis - what does this mean
Juvenile idiopathic scoliosis is a condition that results from an abnormal curvature of the spine in a child or adolescent. it is caused by an unknown factor, and is characterized by an excessive rotation of the vertebrae and an abnormal side-to-side curvature of the spine. it can cause pain, breathing difficulties, and uneven shoulders or hips.
What happens during the disease - juvenile idiopathic scoliosis
Juvenile idiopathic scoliosis is a complex condition that is thought to be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. it is believed that the condition is caused by an imbalance in the normal development of the spine, which results in an abnormal curvature of the spine. this is thought to be due to an underlying structural abnormality, such as a difference in the shape of the vertebrae, or an imbalance in the muscles and ligaments that support the spine. additionally, the condition may also be caused by a disruption in the normal growth of the spine, resulting in an abnormal curvature.
Clinical Pattern
Juvenile idiopathic scoliosis is a condition in which the spine develops an abnormal, side-to-side curvature. It typically affects children aged 10-15 and is characterized by the presence of a lateral curvature of the spine, rib hump, and an uneven shoulder height. Treatment for this condition typically includes observation, bracing, and/or surgery depending on the severity of the curvature.
How does a doctor diagnose
- Physical Examination
- X-ray Imaging
- CT Scan
- MRI Scan
- Ultrasound Scan
- Electromyography (EMG)
- Bone Scan
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main goal: To reduce the progression of the scoliosis curvature and improve the patient's quality of life.
- Prescription of physical therapy exercises to improve posture and reduce pain.
- Bracing to reduce the progression of the curvature.
- Monitoring of the curvature progression with regular X-ray imaging.
- Medications to reduce pain.
- Surgery to correct the curvature and stabilize the spine.
32 Days of Hospitalization Required
54 Hours Required for Outpatient Treatment
Juvenile idiopathic scoliosis - Prevention
To prevent juvenile idiopathic scoliosis, it is important to ensure that children are engaging in regular physical activity, such as swimming or yoga, and to encourage early detection through regular screenings and check-ups. it is also important to ensure that children have proper posture when sitting or standing, and to avoid activities that involve excessive twisting of the spine.
