  • adult non structural thoracolumbal

    Hai friends,


    When i was 21 yo, i had scoliosis non structural which is caused by an underlying problem, such as muscle spasm, appendicitis or differing leg lengths.

    Do you know what exercise should i take?? and should i wear brace? (now iam 27 yo)



    Thanks

    Dearest Grace,
    Grace is a good word for what's coming next. Some people belive in the Supernatural, which, if it actual, it's only natural. Now I'm 26, So I'm going to explain to you what's been repeatedly explained to me... There are no UFO's. The government is a not a conspiracy, but a headless blunder operating under the illusion of a master plan. No one since Jesus has performed miracles... At least real ones. I believe that someone watches over us.. Though maybe not what you'd expect... Believe it or not, the Genetic Engineer in the Sky didn't screw up as hard as you think. The bastard knows exactly what's supposed to be done.
    I should start a new paragraph. All writers worth their weight in paper do about now. You're perhaps a year older than I am. Nothing will cure our condition just yet. One friend told me, about at the brink of 2001.... "It's the future, that's why nothing works."
    It's the 21st century. They better damn right have a cure for a stupid, rotten and outright simple disease such as scoliosis... But the whore scientists have been slacking. I'm a scientist, and if some rotten government agency had so much as written a wink in my direction, I woulda fixed it. But they didn't. They fund things like making ostriches run on treadmills, while men explain about amphibian sex.
    I'm with you and feel your pain. When I come up with some sort of horrorshow fix, I'll let you know.

      Hi Grace...

      If your scoliosis was non-structural, it should have resolved when the spasm resolved. Do you know if the scoliosis still exists? One way or the other, bracing will definitely not help.

        Grace, are you from North America? Seeing an ortho for adult scoliosis can help you deal with your concerns.

        I do believe that some progress has been made for scoliosis patients, but not enough. Only bracing helps teens and surgery for adults. And I know that surgery is less intense and so is the recovery, but when I read about so many problems later on such as myself, I think it's such a complicated pain in the ass problem to have. Ever since I was 12 I have been dealing with this one way or another, and at the age of 34-almost 35 now I'm starting to lose my patience with my back. I have a lot of patience, wich sometimes has me wondering if it's always a good thing.

          Reading your post was to say the least...very interesting and I enjoyed it. You do bring it all from a very different perspective! It is a rotten thing and I too am not very happy that I now have to try to "fix" this myself with various exercise programs, PT, so on and so forth.

              Hi Grace...

              I'm sorry, I don't know enough to answer your questions. I do know that if your scoliosis was non-structural (functional), the curve(s) should have straightened when the spasm was resolved. If you still have scoliosis, than it would be structural (not non-structural).

              Regards,
              Linda

                    result.

                    i have been wore brace for three months since october. And I think i got correct little bit ( i dont check yet). I can see the different between now and last. I also did back exercise twice a day. Before I do exercise i warm my muscle with infraphill. And I think my scoliosis is still non sturctural... ( I dont ask my docter). And i hope my non structural scoliosis is total cure. I have been suffer form this condition 15 years and almost 16 years, and my degree two curves and all are moderate.

                    Thanks , may be u can give me and advice or opinion or something else

                      For Grace/conservative methods in adults?

                      Grace: this is why scoliosis does not respond to conservative treatments in adults:

                        Hi..

                        After went to my docter. She said that my degree still same and no change.

                        I have scoliosis and rotate bone so she said that it was structural.

                        She said that i have cogenital scoliosis, but i wasnt so sure about her opinion.

                        Iam so depress.
