~WHY CREATE SUCH AWARENESS
So a sister mine had a scoliosis which we discovered 9 months ago. My family thought it was a tumor or something so we had her undergo x-rays and found out a 32 degrees bending on her spine which the doctor classified it as a SCOLIOSIS. I believe that in her case the cause is carrying excessive loads in her bag which she only put in one of her shoulder that triggers the bending. In her case though it was just a mild one and for now she is attending her specific exercise sessions to prevent the spine from bending too much. So from here ill be defining what scoliosis is.
Her X-Rays,
~WHAT IS A SCOLIOSIS?
Scoliosis is a medical condition in which a person's spine has a sideway curve. The curve is usually "S-" or "C-" shaped.
~WHAT CAUSES A SCOLIOSIS?
The cause of these cases are pretty much unknown in general but it is said believed that genetic factor is highly involved in addition to the environmental factor.
~IS IT POSSIBLE TO PREVENT THE SPINE FROM BENDING?
Yes, thought it depends on what degree of curve your spine is underlying. Mild scoliosis can be prevented through proper exercise which could help from preventing the condition to worse. In severe cases a surgery might be needed because of its severity a person will be having a hard time breathing although there is excruciating pain that is present to those who had this abnormality.
~WHAT ARE THE CHANCES OF HAVING IT?
Statistically speaking about 3% of certain population might have a scoliosis and women are more prone on having this than men.
~IS THERE A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OSCOLIOSIS AND OSTEOPOROSIS?
Yes, Osteoporosis is the demineralization of the bones when aging while Scoliosis as above mention is the abnornal curvature of the spine.
NOTE: If an older person had an osteoporosis this may lead into a curvature of the spine which is scoliosis.
Thats all and Thanks for reading such awareness and i hope that this content will have a little impact to your life.
