Scoliosis is a sideways curvature that happens in the spine of a person. Your back starts bending to one side in a shape ‘S’ or ‘C’. It usually happens prior to hitting puberty. It starts looking like a deformation in body shape. Though scoliosis is usually considered very mild, but if It doesn’t heal, we need to consult a professional as early as possible otherwise it can ruin the quality of your life. If this continues, it may create some major health problems and conditions leading to disability as well. It can cause major cardiovascular as well as respiratory problems. The girls are twice as much prone to suffering from this condition than boys.

Usually, causes of scoliosis are not known. But it commonly happens because of three major problems like neuromuscular, functional as well as degenerative problems. This can happen due to irregular or incomplete formation of bones of the legs or back. Other reasons may include osteoporosis, fracture or tumor. There are a few symptoms to this condition. One can easily identify it as your walking style changes, fitting of clothes becomes irregular, head appears off center or body bends to one side. Other than the pain that you face, it can also lower self confidence in a person.

The most common treatment of scoliosis is by going for scoliosis surgery. Scoliosis spinal fusion surgery uses a Scoliosis Harrington rod to straighten the bend and stop it from curving further. It makes use of the ratcheting system along the curve and hooks it up at both the ends, thus helping a person to be straighter. However, this surgery has several ill effects on people. Yes, these rods can sometimes break, bend or loosen due to which it can make the condition worse for patients. In fact, patients may have to further take more surgeries to heal it.

Harrington rod scoliosis can even create more problems as these rods sometime corrode which can create more difficulty for patients. It can lead to nerve damage, infection or rod displacement. Thus, it is best to rather go for non-surgical and non-bracing methods to heal this condition. There are a few lifestyle changes which you can also make to get rid of the condition. Do exercises like split dance, upward and downward dog, or step down and one-arm reach. Indulge in food items rich in vitamins, calcium, amino acids, and anti-inflammatory herbs, and you will certainly note a change!
