Scoliosis is a disease of the neuro-muscular system, which has long challenged health care professionals worldwide. The current treatment options, or lack of treatment for most families, dealing with an early detection of this disease can be very frustrating. In most cases, children diagnosed with scoliosis are told they have it and the health team monitored to see if it gets worse. This would be like with a doctor tell you that you have a very progressive cancer but we will wait until they are before we can do for you. Statistically, scoliosis is gradual in most cases.
Where does this leave children diagnosed with scoliosis at 25 degrees commonly referred to as early? The general medical approach is to wait until the curve reached 25 degrees at the time of the orthopedics specialist is bracing for a friend. The most common form of fixation is a tough bracket, which designed to be worn on average 22 hours a day until skeletal maturity or until the curve advances to 40 degrees, at which point they opt for surgical intervention.
What doctors usually do not tell you is that once the curve reaches 25 degrees of likelihood of progression is 68% even with the most trying orthotics. Leaves, so that almost 70% of families with a very progressive illness, concludes with surgical intervention, a highly invasive surgery with significant post-surgical ramifications. I do not know about you, but when my daughter was this solution as the only way, I would be very frustrated, anxiety and disappointment in our health service for not with a better alternative to effectively combat scoliosis early before it reached critical levels, wherever and Ortheses surgery is the only option.
A non-profit organization, based on the search for a cure for scoliosis, a system that can effectively reduce and stabilize scoliosis without bracing or surgery. In fact, the majority of scoliosis cases handled by this alternative method was the result of the patients who had surgery, where bracing attempts have failed to halt progression. This represents a large portion of scoliosis cases were reduced and stabilized using these new protocols were over the 40 degree level. These spinal rehabilitation program was originally designed to correct scoliosis. Correction, which means that the scoliosis usually about 30 degrees Cobb angle and correct about what scoliosis as a non-level typically 10 degrees or less.
The majority of cases, more than 30 degrees have not adjusted to this ideal 10 degrees or less bandwidth. The average reduction in the Cobb angle measurement is 30-50%, which means "MIX FIX SET" method. Now this is in no way a mistake, because a non-surgical method is not bracing the consequent ability to reduce and stabilize this very progressive disease is a major achievement and will very probably revolutionized the treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. Several news stations nationally as well as magazines have stories and interviews with patients, which this program from scoliosis care. It is considered a big success, if you are able to stop progressive scoliosis curve let alone the actual measurement curve without the use of orthotics, casting, or surgery.
families with early detection of scoliosis can proactively. The status quo of the straight and waits for the inevitable train wreck is no longer your only option. Doctors have scoliosis treatment option, ideal for curves under 30 degrees. The reason for the absence of a full correction with curves over 30 degrees is because of the nature of scoliosis as a feed-forward mechanism. Meaning, once the curve progresses to 30 or higher, the "crankshaft phenomenon" kicks in, a huge rotation in conjunction with lateral bending and compression. This phenomenon is very difficult to reverse, in fact, invasive surgery may not even fully correct this mechanism. If a scoliosis reached the 30 degree mark, the crankshaft mechanism starts, and the chance of progression missiles. This is also the reason why a 50-degree scoliosis reduction on May 30 degrees with this alternative method, which is fantastic, but the scoliosis still alive. It is not yet fully corrected and therefore has the innate potential to grow further.
With their attack on the scoliosis, before he fulcrum of 30 degrees, you can usually correct scoliosis. You can, in most cases, the elimination of scoliosis scoliosis with measurements of 10 degrees or less, so victory over the disease and not just taming it. Make the opportunity to correct the problem before it spirals out of control give you the freedom to go about your life without constantly worry about what the scoliosis does or what it is. These scoliosis program has the potential to become the first line of defense against childhood scoliosis. At some point this technology is the standard recommendation and hopefully replace the current "watch and wait" recommendation nothing currently in place for children diagnosed with scoliosis below 25 degrees. Doctors through research and new technologies have the potential to "cure" the disease, but they have a fixed program of screening and referral to the appropriate treatment of the institution rather than a clock and wait, that system is antiquated and dangerous.
