Cara Obati Skoliosis pada Anak | Skoliosis bisa Sembuh Sendiri? Tinggi Badan Pengaruhi Skoliosis

Summary

In this informative video about scoliosis, a doctor explains how the condition can be managed, particularly for children. The doctor discusses various treatment options, such as observation, exercise, wearing a brace, and surgery, depending on the severity of the curve. Emphasis is placed on staying active and not fearing physical activities like basketball, which can help strengthen the back muscles. The video also reassures viewers that scoliosis doesn't always lead to pain or require immediate intervention if the curve is mild. It encourages open communication with parents and doctors for effective treatment and support.

Takeaways

• 😀 Skoliosis in children can sometimes improve on its own, but this depends on the degree of curvature and the age of the individual.
• 😀 Skoliosis can cause muscle pain, with muscles on opposite sides of the spine becoming imbalanced, leading to discomfort, especially in the back.
• 😀 To reduce pain from skoliosis, regular exercises that strengthen and stretch the back muscles are recommended.
• 😀 Using a monkey bar for hanging exercises can help stretch and align the spine, promoting better posture and reducing discomfort.
• 😀 Children with skoliosis should stay active, including engaging in activities like sports, to avoid muscle stiffness and pain.
• 😀 There's no need to fear physical activity if you have skoliosis, as it can help improve muscle function and prevent worsening pain.
• 😀 Treatment for skoliosis depends on the degree of curvature: mild cases (under 30 degrees) often only need monitoring and exercises, while more severe cases may require bracing or surgery.
• 😀 For scoliosis with a curvature over 30 degrees, a back brace might be recommended. Severe cases, above 45 degrees, often require surgery.
• 😀 Recovery from scoliosis treatment is typically not painful after the initial adjustment period, though surgery requires more time to heal.
• 😀 Skoliosis can worsen with rapid growth, especially during puberty, and early detection and treatment are crucial to prevent further progression.

Q & A

Can scoliosis in children heal on its own?

While scoliosis may not completely heal on its own, mild cases with an angle under 30 degrees may not require intervention. As long as the curve doesn't worsen and there are no major functional issues, it may be managed through monitoring and exercises.

What exercises are recommended for scoliosis pain relief?

For scoliosis pain relief, exercises that strengthen and stretch the back muscles are helpful. Hanging from a monkey bar, for example, can help relieve tension in the spine and improve posture, promoting better alignment.

Is scoliosis painful?

Scoliosis can cause discomfort, especially when the muscles on one side of the spine are overworked, leading to stiffness and pain. However, the severity of pain can vary depending on the degree of the curve.

What is the best sport for scoliosis?

Sports that involve stretching and strengthening the back muscles, such as swimming, yoga, or gymnastics, are beneficial for individuals with scoliosis. It’s important to stay active to maintain muscle flexibility and strength.

What is the treatment for scoliosis?

Treatment for scoliosis depends on the severity of the curve. For curves under 30 degrees, observation and exercises may suffice. Between 30 and 45 degrees, a back brace (orthosis) may be recommended. For curves above 45 degrees, surgery may be required to prevent further worsening.

Does scoliosis treatment depend on age?

Yes, age is a key factor in scoliosis treatment. Bracing is most effective in children who are still growing, typically under the age of 16. After the age of 18, bracing is no longer effective, and surgery may be considered for severe cases.

Can scoliosis be cured completely?

Scoliosis cannot be fully 'cured' in the sense of making the spine completely straight. However, with proper management, the condition can be stabilized, and individuals can live with minimal symptoms. Treatment focuses on preventing the curve from worsening.

What is the role of gravity in scoliosis treatment?

Gravity plays a role in scoliosis treatment through activities like hanging from a monkey bar. This can stretch and elongate the spine, potentially helping to align it more effectively. The goal is to reduce tension and help the muscles work properly.

At what angle does scoliosis require surgical intervention?

Surgical intervention is typically considered for scoliosis when the spinal curve exceeds 45 degrees, as at this point the curve may continue to worsen and cause severe functional issues.

Can carrying heavy loads affect scoliosis?

While carrying heavy loads doesn't directly cause scoliosis, it can exacerbate the condition by increasing strain on the spine and muscles, potentially worsening pain and discomfort for individuals with scoliosis.
