While scoliosis is an upsetting condition, it can almost always be treated if detected early. Written by a scoliosis sufferer, Stopping Scoliosis takes the reader through every stage of the condition. It discusses ways to diagnose scoliosis before exploring all the options for treating it—both surgical and non-surgical. The advancements in bracing and surgical techniques that have been made in the past few years are examined in detail. Also included are methods for managing pain, tips on how to prepare for surgery, and compelling patient stories from people of all ages. Endorsed by the National Scoliosis Foundation, this is the most comprehensive, up-to-date book on scoliosis available.

Book Synopsis Three-dimensional Treatment for Scoliosis by : Christa Lehnert-Schroth
Download or read book Three-dimensional Treatment for Scoliosis written by Christa Lehnert-Schroth and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three-dimensional scoliosis therapy has for decades played an established role in the conservative management of mild and even of severe scoliosis. As well as describing every aspect of the pathologically curved, deformed spine, this textbook incorporates an extensive programme of exercises that can be tailored specifically to the needs of the individual patient. As outlined in Three-Dimensional Scoliosis Therapy: The Schroth Breathing Orthopaedic System, correction of the spinal deformity is based on a special breathing technique and active muscle stretching, as well as on elongation, detorsion and reduction of lordosis. The provision of psychological support for the patient is also emphasised as a key element. Christa Lehnert-Schroth born 1924 in Meissen She worked as a physiotherapist for about 50 years with scoliosis patients and further developed her mother's breathing orthopaedic technique with great success. Between 1961 and 1995 Christa Lehnert-Schroth - always surrounded by physicians - was director of the private Katharina-Schroth-Klinik in Bad Sobernheim/Germany. In many lectures, articles, seminars and films for physiotherapists and medical doctors in addition to recorded discs for patient's training at home she illustrated her mother's special method for scoliosis assuring well being of many patients and in honor her mother's legacy.

Book Synopsis Pathogenesis of Idiopathic Scoliosis by : Masafumi Machida
Download or read book Pathogenesis of Idiopathic Scoliosis written by Masafumi Machida and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-02-23 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides comprehensive coverage of current topics in idiopathic scoliosis (IS). A three-dimensional deformity of the spine, the condition is characterized by lateral curvature combined with vertebral rotation. The primary lesion, however, lies in the median sagittal plane, taking the form of a lordosis. Although the clinical manifestations of scoliosis have been well documented, its cause and pathogenesis have not yet been determined. Research into what causes IS has focused on the structural elements of the spine, spinal musculature, collagenous structures, the endocrine system, the central nervous system, and genetics. Results of these studies have brought about a new perception of IS epiphenomena, but the main cause of IS remains unknown. Recently, several investigators have produced new hypotheses regarding the cause of IS using the developing techniques of genetics, biochemistry, and neurology. This book is a review of the various causative factors thus far proposed for IS and an introduction to the directions in which research is heading to determine the primary cause of IS.
Book Synopsis SCOLIOSIS and Spinal Pain Syndrome by : VALENTYN SERDYUK
Download or read book SCOLIOSIS and Spinal Pain Syndrome written by VALENTYN SERDYUK and published by Byword Books Private Limited. This book was released on 2013-12-10 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Millions of children and adults suffer from idiopathic scoliosis and accompanying spinal pain. Numerous congresses and conferences are dedicated to their treatment, but the problem persists. The origin of scoliosis remains a mystery, even though the condition has been a topic of intensive investigation for thousands of years, since the time of Claudius Galen, Hippocrates, Pythagoras and Avicenna. During the past 20 years, the author has accumulated a huge amount of clinical material. He has provided relief from scoliosis and spinal pain to more than 8000 patients. The author believes that asymmetrical structure of our body is the cause of various diseases such as osteochondrosis, deforming spondylosis, chronic sacral–pelvic pain and fibromyalgia. In a step-by-step, chapter-by-chapter walk through the pages, the author presents two scientific discoveries, which not only unravel the mystery of scoliosis, but also the origin of numerous diseases of humans linked with the deformity of the spine. The author suggests an effective non-surgical method of treatment based upon restoration of normal biomechanics of the body muscles both for scoliosis and spinal pain syndrome. The book aims to bring this extremely important information to the world medical community. The book will be of interest not only to orthopaedicians and vertebrologists, but also to neurologists, neurosurgeons, paediatricians and ophthalmologists.

Book excerpt: This is the first of a series of Instructional Course Lectures (ICL) books of the International Society On Scoliosis Orthopaedic and Rehabilitation Treatment (SOSORT). In the contents of this book the reader can find the SOSORT statutes and become familiar with the aims of the creation of this society. This will hopefully be the initiation of a series of books on conservative scoliosis treatment and a valuable library for SOSORT. The philosophy of the commencement of such ICL book series is the achievement of an ultimate aim, the improvement of early detection and non operative treatment of the patient care pathway for scoliosis. For this endeavor, a number of eminent clinicians and scientists around the world, who are devoted and high-quality students of scoliosis, are involved with and contributing to their fabulous work. There is no doubt that this book is not able to cover every aspect of the issue. However, the future volumes of this series of books will continuously complete the latest relevant knowledge. In this volume there are chapters reporting on various aspects of the current state of the following topics: IS aetiology, recent trends on scoliosis research, genetics, prevention - school screening, various methods of physiotherapy, various types of braces, the inclusion criteria for conservative treatment, together with the SOSORT guidelines for conservative treatment, clinical evaluation and classification, study of the surface after brace application and outcomes for each brace.
