What Is The Treatment For Mild Diffuse Dextrorotoscoliosis?
My soldier son had xrays done & the results say a mild diffuse dextrorotoscoliosis & there is chronic L5-S1 degenerative facet arthropathy. There is. 1cm of anterior spondylolisthesis of L5 upon S1 & marked narrowingof disc space. Also transverse lucency evident. Indication of Probable bilateral spodtlolysisin region of pars interarticularis of L5. More imaging recommended to observe grade 2 spondylolisthesis.
You have not mentioned what is complain of your son. Because spondylolysthesis can be a normal finding on x ray. If your son complain of back pain than it is ziggy of weakness. I would recommend you to go for physiotherapy for your won. This will strengthen his back muscles. Till that time he should avoid heavy weight lifting or bending forward. Surgical procedure is also an option if physiotherapy does not work.
