Scoliosis of the 2nd degree and 3: symptoms and treatment. Features of its course during pregnancy

Scoliosis is a fairly common disease of the musculoskeletal system. However, depending on the degree of severity and peculiarities of the course, its effects on the body and treatment will be different. The initial stage of the disease, as a rule, is in many. Outwardly not noticeable and amenable to correction with the help of exercise therapy. But here already scoliosis of 2 degrees and 3 inspires more fears. Let's try to understand the nuances of this issue.

Scoliosis of the 2nd degree is a curvature of the spine in the frontal plane from eleven to twenty-five degrees (according to the method of V. Chaklin). The most dangerous age of his appearance is before adolescence, as this indicates the progression of the deformation process. With an active course, changes in the thorax can occur, which will lead to bulging out of the ribs. In the event that scoliosis of 2nd degree was found after eighteen years, then significant risks are absent. Although continuous monitoring and treatment is necessary.

Scoliosis of the 2nd degree will not be noticeable in a dressed person. But here at external survey it is possible to allocate following signs:

• There are unequal triangles on both sides of the waist, this is the free space between the arm and the waist. They are not symmetric in most cases.
• There are different levels of shoulder blades and shoulders with respect to any flat surface.
• The appearance of rotation of the vertebrae, when they can rotate around their axis. It is thanks to this ability that children develop a muscle cushion and a costal hump.

Scoliosis of the 2nd degree requires long and systematic treatment, which must include:

• Special sets of physical exercises (using simulators and without them, with massage and so on);
• Manual therapy in order to "fix" the result after the course of physical procedures;
• Electrostimulation while moving.

With such symptoms, surgical intervention is not required. That you will not tell or say about when there is a diagnosis - a scoliosis of 3 degrees. Treatment in this case is more complex and prolonged.

Externally, the third stage of the disease becomes visible even when a person is dressed. This is not just a curvature, but there is an S-shaped change. The arc along V. Chaklin is from twenty-six to fifty degrees. Under the influence of rotation there are:

• Presence of wrong direction of the ribs;
• Significant deforming changes in the chest;
• The ribs protrude outward from the protruding side, and on the other hand they are considerably drowned;
• There is an obvious skew of the shoulders and pelvis.

Complete recovery at grade 3 is possible only if the child is systematically treated for up to 11 years. In other cases it is necessary to maintain your condition with the help of the same procedures as in the second degree, as well as constant monitoring of the orthopedist.

Particular attention will be paid to the problem - scoliosis and pregnancy. The fact that in the body of the future mother begins serious hormonal changes. They lead to the fact that the cartilaginous and connective tissues become more vulnerable, elastic and wear out more.

In the presence of scoliosis before pregnancy, it is strictly forbidden to overload the spine and lift weights, otherwise the microcracks may appear on the joints and intervertebral disks. This in the future will contribute to the development of intervertebral hernias. It is mandatory to wear a special bandage, which will greatly ease the burden on the spine.

But a pregnant woman should definitely do a special set of exercises, aimed at removing excess tension and relaxation.

Scoliosis is a serious disease that can not be triggered.
