Scoliosis

[ryzel]

---

u have to get an x-ray first of ur spinal column then go to a physiatrist either in cebu doctors, chong hua, sacred heart hospital or in any PT rehab clinics for ur assessment first.
am a PT and the only thing i can recommend is u need to see a physiatrist in any PT clinics and hospitals here in cebu before a PT practitioner can give u a certain management for ur scoliosis...

I also have scoliosis. I've already consulted a doctor, Dr. Joseph Antigua sa Chong Hua Medical Arts. Kaila sya sa doctor nga nagopera ni zsa zsa, i guess that doctor was his mentor. Dili man sya morecommend ug operation kay once maoperahan ka dili na ka makaduko-duko kay naa man na sila mura metal nga ibutang sa imong spine so dili na sya basta2x ma bend. Iya ra ko gitudluan kung unsaon paghigda sa bed, dapat naa kay counting kung unsaon paghigda. Then kung magbarog ka kanang mura ka ug nag-posing. one leg ra gyud ang straight kung magbarog ka. Dili pwede prolong walking and standing. So far wla naman magsakit akong likod, pwera buyag lang magsakit lang sya kung sobra sa lakaw ug barog. And also dili pud pwede dugay lingkod, dapat magbarog barog jud ka den stretching gamay.

Sakit jud kaayo na sya basta dili insakto imong position. Ang kana man gud atong spinal naa na syay murag nerves in between den kung naa kay scoliosis, hiwi man imong spinal so mangaipit tong mga nerves, so pwerte gyung sakita. maglakaw ka mura ug tiguwang kay pwerte gyung sakita. There are times man gani kung sobra na jud kasakit, ultimo lagi mangilo ka inig libang pwerte gyung sakita.

treatment for scoliosis depends on the severity or how many degrees is the curvature of your spine. curvature less than ten degrees can be prevented from progressing by physical therapy (exercise). spinal curvature of less than 20 degrees needs bracing plus exercise and beyond 25 degrees ussualy needs vertebral surgery. progression of the curvature also depends if you have reached your bone maturity. for exercises you can do in your home, you should always do stretching on the concave side of the curve and strengthening exercises on the convex side of the curve.

hope this helps.
