Scoliosis Functional

Functional scoliosis is a curvature of the spine that occurs as a result of weak back muscles and incorrect posture. It can be either congenital or acquired and can lead to various health problems.

Functional scoliosis is one of the most common forms of spinal curvature in children and adolescents. It causes back and neck pain and can also lead to headaches and blurred vision. In addition, it can cause disruption of blood flow to the spinal cord, which can lead to problems with motor coordination and even stroke.

One of the main causes of functional scoliosis is weak back muscles. Because of this, children cannot maintain correct posture, which in turn leads to curvature of the spine. Also predisposing factors are short stature and genetic predisposition.

Symptoms of functional scoliosis appear in adolescence, when children begin to actively grow and develop. The most common symptoms include:

1. Back pain 2. Fatigue and muscle weakness 3. Headaches 4. Decreased sensitivity and coordination of movements 5. Visual impairment 6. Difficulty walking and running 7. Changes in posture 8. Dropping of the head and shoulders.

Functional diagnosis of scoliosis is carried out by an orthopedic doctor. Various methods are used for this, such as x-rays, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging.

Treatment for functional scoliosis should be comprehensive and include both physical exercise and medication. Exercise helps strengthen your back muscles and improve your posture. Drug treatment may include anti-inflammatory drugs and vitamins.

In addition, it is important to ensure correct body position
