Neuromuscular scoliosis - what does this mean
Neuromuscular scoliosis is a type of spinal curvature that occurs when the muscles and nerves controlling the spine are weakened or not functioning properly, causing the spine to curve abnormally. it is typically caused by a neurological condition such as cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, or spinal cord injury.
What happens during the disease - neuromuscular scoliosis
Neuromuscular scoliosis is a condition in which the spine curves abnormally due to an underlying neurological disorder or muscular weakness. this can result in an imbalance of the muscles that support the spine, leading to an abnormal curvature of the spine and potential pain. it can also cause compression of the spinal cord, leading to neurological symptoms such as numbness, weakness, and difficulty walking.
Clinical Pattern

How does a doctor diagnose
- Physical examination
- X-ray of spine
- MRI of spine
- CT scan of spine
- Electromyography (EMG)
- Nerve conduction velocity (NCV) tests
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main goal of the treatment: To reduce pain and improve mobility.
- Physical therapy to strengthen the muscles around the spine
- Bracing to provide support
- Surgery to correct the deformity
- Pain medications to relieve symptoms
- Occupational therapy to improve daily activities
- Exercises to increase flexibility and range of motion
- Yoga and massage therapy to reduce stress and tension
- Heat and cold therapy to reduce inflammation
32 Days of Hospitalization Required
54 Hours Required for Outpatient Treatment
Neuromuscular scoliosis - Prevention
The best way to prevent neuromuscular scoliosis is to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including regular physical activity, proper nutrition, and sufficient rest. additionally, it is important to be aware of any underlying medical conditions that could increase the risk of developing scoliosis. early diagnosis and treatment of any underlying medical conditions can help to reduce the risk of developing scoliosis.
