What to do if your spine is curved?

Spinal deformity is a common phenomenon in life. Because the spine is a very fragile skeletal system and has been under high pressure from the human body for a long time, it is easy for people's bad lifestyle habits or diseases to induce changes in the spinal morphology, causing great harm to people's bodies and seriously affecting the patient's life and work. For example, what should we do if the spine is bent? Let’s take a look at the explanation below.

In addition to routine external examinations, a neurological examination is essential to observe whether there are any sensory or motor disorders. Sensory separation usually indicates the possibility of syringomyelia. Abdominal wall reflex and pathological reflex examinations are items that every scoliosis patient should check. Ignoring these examinations can sometimes lead to disastrous consequences.

1. Manual reduction: It can peel off ligament adhesion, improve muscle nutrition, strengthen muscle metabolism, and enhance muscle elasticity. It can dredge meridians, improve blood circulation, and soften soft tissues and ligaments.

2. Traction: It can increase the intervertebral space and peel off the adhesion tissue to achieve the purpose of reduction.

3. Brace fixation: After traction, use necessary braces to force the repositioned spine to remain stable and unchanged without retraction, and also have the effect of expanding the intervertebral space.

4. Electrotherapy: Electromagnetic therapy is used to increase the absorption function of the lesion site, improve blood circulation, peel off tissue adhesions and prevent re-adhesion.

5. Medicine: According to different conditions and patient constitutions, different medicines and dosages are used to assist in the treatment.

6. Surgery: If the scoliosis rotation is too large and there are obvious symptoms of spinal cord compression, surgical treatment should be adopted. Currently, nail fixation is commonly used.

Currently, there are two relatively mature surgeries: one is internal fixation correction, and the other is external fixation correction. External fixation technology is also called Ilizanov technology, which originated in Russia and was introduced and improved in my country. It has successfully corrected various complex bone deformities.
