Download or read book Scoliosis Cure Guide written by Dr David Jensen and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-09-18 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most children with scoliosis have mild curves and probably won't need treatment with a brace or surgery. Children who have mild scoliosis may need regular checkups to see if there have been changes in the curvature of their spines as they grow include: Sex. Girls have a much higher risk of progression than do boys. Severity of curve. Larger curves are more likely to worsen with time. Curve pattern. Double curves, also known as S-shaped curves, tend to worsen more often than do C-shaped curves. Location of the curve. Curves located in the center (thoracic) section of the spine worsens more often than do curves in the upper or lower sections of the spine. Maturity. If a child's bones have stopped growing, the risk of curve progression is low. That also means that braces have the most effect on children whose bones are still growing. While there are guidelines for mild, moderate, and severe curves, the decision to begin treatment is always made on an individual basis. Factors to be considered
