The entry for sharing today is related about scoliosis, its one of the defaulted of spine and mostly affect to the girl compare than boy , the info in here hope will give you some idea related of this kind of problem.
What is Scoliosis?
Everyone's spine
has natural curves. These curves round our shoulders and make our lower back
curve slightly inward.
But some people
have spines that also curve from side to side. It’s called SCOLIOSIS.
Scoliosis
This condition
of side-to-side spinal curves is called scoliosis. On an X-ray, the spine of an
individual with scoliosis looks more like an "S" or a "C"
than a straight line. Some of the bones in a scoliotic spine also may have
rotated slightly, making the person's waist or shoulders appear uneven.
The importance
of early detection
Scoliosis can go
unnoticed in a child because it is rarely painful in the formative years.
Therefore, watch for the following "tip-offs" to scoliosis beginning
when child is about eight years of age:
·
-uneven shoulders
·
-prominent shoulder blade or
shoulder blades
·
-uneven waist
·
-elevated hips
·
-leaning to one side
Tests for
scoliosis
·
Any one of these signs warrants
an examination by the family physician, pediatrician or orthopedist.
·
Some schools sponsor scoliosis
screenings. Although only a physician can accurately diagnose scoliosis, school
screenings can help alert parents to the presence of its warning signs in their
child
What causes
scoliosis?
·
In most (80 to 85 percent)
cases, the cause of scoliosis is unknown - a condition called idiopathic scoliosis.
In other cases, scoliosis may develop as a result of degeneration of the spinal
disks, as seen with osteoporosis, or as a hereditary condition that tends to
run in families.
·
Nearly one-half million
adolescents have a curve that requires monitoring. Girls are affected four
times as often as boys, and there is a tendency for this condition to occur in
families.

cause scoliosis.
·
Scoliosis is not usually
painful in adolescence, but can become so in adulthood.

bone healing.
·
The metal rods inserted during
bone fusion surgery do not activate the metal detectors at airports, and do not
rust.
·
Surgery does not interfere with
normal childbearing.
·
Spinal deformities are not
contagious.
