Right-sided scoliosis: lumbar, thoracic, cervical, extent, and methods of treatment

Right-sided scoliosis is diagnosed in most patients complaining of discomfort in the back, and 70% of them specialists diagnosed a critical disease, right-sided scoliosis of the thoracic spine. Displacement of the vertebral column in the right side is not only a violation of human posture, but also leads to significant violations of proper work of internal organs.

When complicated forms of the disease there are changes in the functioning of the respiratory and cardiovascular system. At the very first signs of the disease to start treatment. Otherwise, the disease will progress rapidly and can develop into a severe form.

Reasons

The exact cause of the disease experts are not called. Right-sided scoliosis usually begins to develop in childhood when there is an intense bone growth. Weak muscles can not cope with the increasing load on the spine, which leads to deformations of the skeleton. The disease is complicated by the fact that in the early stages of diagnosing it is difficult. And a long finding of the child in the wrong posture increases strain on the spine.

Experts distinguish also looks at other factors influencing the development of the disease:

• Extra weight, which adds weight on the spine;
• Various injuries that trigger physical changes of a vertebral disk;
• The presence of congenital anomalies of the skeleton, including the presence or absence of a vertebra;
• Diseases that lead to anatomic deformities of the bones, such as degenerative disc disease, spondylosis, hernia;
• Endocrine disorders and infection which lead to the destruction of bone tissue, and consequently change the shape and position of the vertebral segments.

Referring to localization specialists distinguish the following types of this disease:

• Humalny – occurs in the lumbar spine;
• Orically or Grado is localized in the chest area;
• Oracleberry – is characterized by the curvature of the vertebrae in the area between the thoracic and lumbar divisions;
• Combo – comes in two lumbar.

Symptoms

According to experts, scoliosis can occur at any age and at any spine.

Cervical

This type of curvature is quite rare, as a rule, infants. Due to the fact that the neck muscle is still quite weak and any wrong move leads to deformation of the correct position of the vertebrae. In older age the main cause of the curvature of the cervical are the injuries. And accompanied by such manifestations as: headache, discomfort, stiffness and soreness in the neck. Numbness of the upper extremities of evidence already about the more serious violations in the structure of the spine, until the deformed bones of the skull and compression of blood vessels.

Thoracic scoliosis

This form of the disease is the most common and manifested by the following symptoms: asymmetry of the thoracic, limitation of motion due to pain in back and sternum, tingling or numbness in the fingers. The danger of the disease lies in the possibility of serious disturbances in the internal organs, especially pulmonary and cardiovascular systems.

Lumbar

It occurs usually as a result of great physical exertion. What is happening in the spine, the initial changes during the inspection to notice hard enough, and the diagnosis put by the presence of additional research and a range of symptoms. So, patients often complain of a sore lower back, legs, disturbed the health of the pelvic organs and reproductive system. The complexity of the disease lies in the fact that in the early stages of the disease does not manifest itself, and in the later stages to cure it. The only treatment is to stop further development of lumbar scoliosis.

The degree of deformation

For right-hand drive development of scoliosis is characterized by the following the degree of change occurring in the spine:

• 1 degree. Is diagnosed infrequently. This is due to the fact that in its early stages, scoliosis mistaken forthe stoop. If diagnosed on time the treatment takes place with the help of sparing methods.
• 2 the degree. On examination, the patient experienced a doctor to notice slight asymmetry of the body, the right side just above the left. If these symptoms are not detected early, there is a rapid deterioration of the spine. Treatment in this case requires more intensive therapy;
• 3 the degree. Is considered a more severe form. This condition is characterized by displacement of the thorax, and the formation of the rib hump. Occurring anatomical process is already causing the malfunction of important organs. When running the form affected the lumbar section of the trunk. In this case, the specialist will diagnose thoracolumbar scoliosis;
• 4 the degree. This is the most severe form of the disease. Changes in the internal organs caused by the curvature of the spine, only amplified. There is much movement, resulting in the body may be irreversible disruption of a number of bodies.

According to experts, even the existence of the symptoms of the first stage of the disease require immediate monitoring specialist.

Scoliosis is characterized by rapid progression. So there is a risk to miss the moment when you can do the application exercises at the right side of scoliosis.

Treatment

The main objective of the applied recovery is to return spinal bones to their normal anatomical position. When the initial disease extent of the patient is recommended to perform a set of exercises with right-hand curvatures, massage, acupuncture and using special corsets and collars. Usually, this is enough to do a full restoration of the damaged unit. When the manifestation of bias severe forms of the standard methods of treatment are not effective. In this case specialists resort to surgical intervention.

Exercises with right-hand scoliosis of 3 degrees is prescribed only in rare cases: children under eleven years of age and in adults whose affected internal organs are in a satisfactory condition.

Today, there are a huge variety of exercises, eliminating deformation of the first two types. However, keep in mind that in order to avoid further injuries, treat right-sided scoliosis with gymnastics only under the supervision of a specialist.

Another important step in the treatment of prevention of disease is walking. Used types of walk quite a lot. This movement on toes and heels. And engulfing leg. The frequency and duration of exercise also is selected individually based on the extent of the disease.
