Can scoliosis be corrected through bone correction?

It cannot be corrected simply by bone setting. Mild to moderate scoliosis can be prevented from worsening by wearing an external brace. In the later stages, surgery is necessary to correct the deformity.

Scoliosis, commonly known as scoliosis, is a three-dimensional deformity of the spine, including sequence abnormalities in the coronal, sagittal and axial positions. A normal person's spine should be a straight line when viewed from the back, and the torso should be symmetrical on both sides. If the height of the shoulders is unequal when viewed from the front or the back is uneven from left to right, scoliosis should be suspected.

At this time, a standing X-ray of the entire spine should be taken. If the anteroposterior X-ray shows a lateral curvature of the spine greater than 10 degrees, scoliosis can be diagnosed. Mild scoliosis usually causes no obvious discomfort and no obvious physical deformity. Severe scoliosis will affect the growth and development of infants and teenagers, causing body deformation. In severe cases, it can affect cardiopulmonary function and even involve the spinal cord, causing paralysis. Mild scoliosis can be treated with observation, but severe cases require surgical treatment. Scoliosis is a common disease that harms adolescents and children. The key is early detection and early treatment.
