Is thoracolumbar scoliosis serious?

Symptoms of Adult Scoliosis Back pain is the primary symptom of adult scoliosis, especially in lumbar scoliosis. However, if the scoliotic curvature involves the thoracic spine, and is severe, the patient may experience breathing difficulties, and the function of the lungs and/or heart may be compromised.

What is severe Dextroscoliosis?

Dextroscoliosis is a type of scoliosis. Scoliosis is a deformity of the spine that results in a sideways curve of the spinal column. If the spine curves to the right, the condition is known as dextroscoliosis. If the spine curves to the left, the condition is called levoscoliosis.

What is severe levoscoliosis?

Levoscoliosis is a form of scoliosis where the spine abnormally twists or curves to the left, sometimes making a ‘C’ shape. From a side view, the spine typically curves to some extent at the neck and lower back, forming a wide “S” shape. But from the back and front view, the spine usually appears mostly straight.

What is the treatment for Dextroscoliosis?

A doctor may recommend either a back brace or surgery. For moderate to severe curves, a back brace can be made to fit an individual’s spine. A person will need to wear the scoliosis brace at all times, except when eating, sleeping, or exercising.

How do you sleep if you have Dextroscoliosis?

In terms of sleeping position, the best position for someone with scoliosis is to sleep flat on their back. The use of pillows to fill the gaps between the back and the mattress help to keep the spine in a straight and neutral position.

Is there a cure or treatment for scoliosis?

Most cases of scoliosis are mild and don’t need treatment. In adults, the degree of the spinal curve may or may not determine treatment. Treatment is geared towards relieving symptoms, and not necessarily fixing the curve. The goal is always to decrease pain and improve function.

Which is the best description of S shaped scoliosis?

A typical S-shaped or double scoliotic curve is one where the spine bends in different sections such as the thoracic and lumbar segments of the spine. In short, S-shaped or double scoliosis has two parts—an upper part and a lower part—bending in opposite directions.

Is it possible to get rid of thoracolumbar scoliosis?

It can also be caused by poor muscle control and muscle weakness. Treating thoracolumbar scoliosis is dependent on a number of different factors. A patient with only a mild curve might not require treatment – just regular monitoring to ensure that the curve is not progressing.
