ВІДНОВЛЮВАЛЬНЕ ЛІКУВАННЯ ІДІОПАТИЧНОГО СКОЛІОЗУ МЕТОДОМ МАНУАЛЬНОЇ ТЕРАПІЇ

Abstract

The concept of scoliosis combines a heterogeneous group of conditions that consist in changes to the shape and position of the spine, chest and trunk. This disease affects the entire human body with its main manifestation being the deformation of the spine in three planes: sagittal, frontal, and horizontal, as well as lateral deflection of the spine and rotation of the vertebrae in the frontal plane. Idiopathic scoliosis has no known cause. It is a diagnosis of exclusion and is only made when anamnesis as well as clinical and radiological data does not provide clear evidence of a particular etiology. Idiopathic scoliosis can have several underlying causes and may progress depending on many factors during any rapid period of child growth. Idiopathic scoliosis can be treated both by conservative and surgical methods. One of the simple, safe, non- invasive, cost-effective and side-effectless methods for the conservative treatment of idiopathic scoliosis is manual therapy which can successfully reduce or stop the progression of spinal curvature, prevent and treat associated respiratory dysfunction and spinal pain syndromes, improve aesthetics through posture correction.
