What Is The Treatment For The Curveation Of The Spine And Neck?
Hello my mum has safer curveation of the spine and neck pain and now she cannot even hold her neck as its like the mussels have gone or weaken and she is in so much pain. we have been to hospital twice and to the doctors and only given pain relief. I feel she is not being helped properly.
I read carefully your question and understand your concern.
I would like to know the cause of this curveation. The deformities of the spinal column can occur from a wrong position or may also be caused by degenerative disorders affecting the bones, like osteoporosis etc.
Spinal column surgery can also cause deformities, when vertebral bodies are taken away.
When the deformities are in a high grade, they can cause dysfunction of the heart and the lungs, besides the chronic pain. So It is important to treat this condition.
The most important thing is to establish the cause of these changes , by having some tests for osteoporosis or inflammatory disorders.
I would recommend a lot of physiotherapy, to help reinforce the back muscles.
Another option of treatment would be surgery, with fixation and fusion of the vertebral bodies. This technique is good to help avoid the cardio-vascular insufficiency, but can lead to chronic disabilities in spinal column movements. You should discuss with a neurosurgeon on this option.
Hope to have been helpful!
Greetings! Dr. Aida
