How to treat right sided lumbar and thoracic scoliosis 1 and 2 degree

Right-sided scoliosis in adults is formed more often than in children. Its causes are not reliably established, but he has many precipitating factors. However, if the person long time is in an inconvenient pose for the spinal column, over time formed a lateral curvature of the vertebral axis. A similar situation is observed with wrong boarding student at a Desk.

About the causes and triggers of the disease

As a result of clinical experiments show that when approaching the edges of the vertebrae pressure on the intervertebral disc is increased in 11 times. This situation occurs when excessive flexion of the vertebral column. However, if impact exists, temporarily, the spine can be restored. If poor posture persists for a long time, the muscles weaken and cannot support the spine.

In adults, its deformations also lead to organic disease: osteochondrosis, spondylosis, ankylosing spondylitis.

• Right-sided scoliosis on the background of degenerative disc disease is formed due to the reduction of intervertebral disk height. Simultaneously, there is a malfunction of blood supply and spasm of the muscles of the back.
• Spondylosis accompanied by the formation of bony growths on either side of the vertebrae. This leads to disruption of the mobility of the segmental units of the spine.
• ankylosing spondylitis is characterized by deposition of calcium salts into the ligaments of the back. Disturbed functionality of articular-ligamentous apparatus, therefore, muscular frame back can not fully contract and relax.

At low mobility (physical inactivity) muscles can not fully perform its functions. It lacks the energy reserves to hold the spinal column upright.

• In children, right-sided scoliosis also occurs when wearing tight clothing, poor lighting of the workplace, the wrong choice of furniture.

Symptoms pathology

To Identify right-sided deformation of the vertical axis of the back is possible by the following features:

• One shoulder is higher than the other;
• skeletal Deformity traces on the eye;
• Marked asymmetry of the waist triangles on both sides
• One of the blades protrudes outward (by bending);
• Nipples of mammary glands are located on different levels.

The Symptoms of scoliosis depend on its type:

• Myopathic – appears in the pathology of the musculoskeletal system;
• of Osteopathic arises due to the deformation of bones and vertebrae;
• Metabolic – metabolic disorders;
• Idiopathic – cause is not set.

Myopathic scoliosis 1 and 2 degrees is more common in small children. In the presence of muscular dystrophy (impaired supply of nutrients and blood supply). Muscle weakness leads to the fact that they can not fully support the vertical axis of the body.

Osteopathic type of disease is a consequence of congenital abnormalities of the vertebrae. Due to the violation of their anteroposterior dimensions, wedge-shaped deformation (e.g., disease at Sheerman) is violated physiological arc of the spine and it bends to the right.

A Metabolic type is the result of the metabolic disorders gout (disturbed uric acid metabolism), hormonal changes, rickets (impeded the absorption of vitamin D), arachnodactyly.

Arachnodactyly is a hereditary disease that is characterized by a disproportionate development of the small bones of the extremities. As a consequence, the fingers become similar to spider.

Idiopathic curvature to the right 1 degree – a frequent occurrence in children. In practice, the orthopedic surgeons found out that the cause of the disease can be established only in 20% of cases.

Treatment of lumbar 1 and 2 degrees

Treatment of right-sided scoliosis includes a set of methods used in the complex. Lateral deformation of 1 and 2 degrees of the thoracic and lumbar requires compliance with a person the following principles:

1. how to stand, keep the weight evenly distributed on both sides of the torso. This will allow your muscles and ligaments evenly to relax;
2. to work Correctly. Every day at work people spend a lot of time. To prevent curvature of the spine in the thoracic and other departments, you must follow some important rules. So, when lifting heavy loads you should squat on your knees. Avoid sudden turns, do not carry in one hand a heavy object, keep a straight posture
3. to Relax is alsoyou must correctly. Sleep should last for at least 8 hours. The bed expert in orthopedic rules. If it hurts one side, you should learn to sleep on it;
4. a balanced diet with vitamins, minerals and a balanced composition of the products;
5. Engage in physical activity. Active lifestyle and physical activity prevent spinal deformity.

Physiotherapy is the mainstay of treatment of any curvatures of the vertebral column.

The Approximate set of exercises that you can perform at home thoracic scoliosis 1 and 2 degrees:

• On the Swedish side brace both hands of the crossbar. Stretch it up and down, but without any sudden movements;
• In a side warp 2 and 3 extent necessary to perform strength exercises at the gym. Lie on the inclined bench (30 degree angle). Lock the legs at the top of the chest and raise the torso upwards. The number of repetitions 10-20;
• To stretch the muscles of the chest are recommended following exercise: support yourself with your feet in the lower crossbeam of the Swedish wall. Follow the sway of the body in both directions;
• Exercise for training the abdominals helps with lateral curvature in the lumbar spine. Lie on your back and lift the torso upwards but the legs hold up on the floor. Repeat for 30 seconds.

Right-sided scoliosis is a dangerous disease, which without adequate treatment progresses over time. In order to treat it, you need to perform daily exercises at home and follow exactly the other recommendations of the attending physician.
