All about Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA)

Treating scoliosis

Spinal surgery

The adults and children who develop severe curvature of the spine, i.e., such as scoliosis, might need special assistance or treatment for the cure. Following are some options:

Spinal surgery:

The surgeons use special rods or metal hooks to straighten the spine before the spinal cord’s fusion in place with the pieces of bones. The spinal surgery gives lumbar support to the body and calms the spinal nerves’ pressure, thus easing the back pain. One of the side effects of this surgery includes the instability of the spine. The surgeon removes certain parts of the bone and then insert rods in the spine to ensure a straight spine. The flexibility of the patient receiving spinal surgery also reduces with this operation.
