The community needs to pay greater attention to the health of the spine, especially to anticipate the threat of scoliosis as early as possible. Scoliosis is one of the spinal deformities that causes a slope in the spine with an angle of more than 10 degrees.
In cases with a low or moderate slope, scoliosis can cause pain in the sufferer, while at certain severity the condition can cause death. Didik Librianto, Chair of the Indonesian Spine Orthopedics, Association of Indonesian Orthopedic Surgeons, revealed that based on data from various cases found, there were several trends related to scoliosis.
Then, having siblings who suffer from scoliosis increases the risk of getting scoliosis up to seven times than those who don’t. Children with parents who suffer from scoliosis also have a three-fold risk level
“Even though the exact cause is unknown, scoliosis can be detected early. Cases that are handled before entering adolescence can maximize the management done,” Didik added.
Although the exact cause of this disorder is still a mystery, it does not mean it cannot be overcome. Early detection is an important step to avoid the negative effects of scoliosis.
But early detection is best done when someone is 10 to 14 years old and is done once a year for three years. This is done considering that most cases of scoliosis are found in adolescents.
If scoliosis is found in patients under the age of 18 years, treatment can also be done to the maximum because the process of bone formation at that time is not perfect.
