After years of studying the conditions of many patients, scientists are still unable to determine what causes scoliosis and how it can be cured for good. However, these studies have allowed medical specialists and therapists to come up with different methods of scoliosis correction.
While it is not a permanent fix, receiving scoliosis treatment in Dubai can help the patient establish a routine that will prevent the progression of the spinal curvature. Some treatment methods are also designed to help relieve pain or discomfort caused by scoliosis.
Brace
Scoliosis patients are not always required to wear brace for scoliosis. It is often recommended for patients as it improves their posture and provides support to the spine, which prevents the progression of the spinal curvature. If you or your child is undergoing physiotherapy for scoliosis, you may ask the therapist for a recommendation on what type of brace is more suitable for you or your child’s condition. The therapist will evaluate the condition before recommending a prosthetist who can design a scoliosis brace customized for the patient’s needs, a spine condition, and body type. Customized braces for scoliosis are more expensive than ready-to-use braces that are available in stores, but these kinds of braces are more comfortable and more effective as they have a better fit.
Exercise
Aside from receiving physical therapy in Dubai to relieve pain, regular and proper exercise is important in preventing the progression of scoliosis. As your spine curves, the muscles around it grow weaker. If the muscles are not strong enough to support the spine, the curvature of the spine will increase much faster. Patients, especially children, must work with a medical specialist or therapist who will provide them with a treatment program designed to develop strong back and abdominal muscles to keep their spine upright. Simple exercises may work, but you will also need guidance in doing routines that will train certain muscle groups that will help you move with ease as you perform day-to-day tasks.
