Will Scoliosis Stop Progressing when you Stop Growing

Scoliosis is the curvature of the spine from one side to the other. It usually attacks the children, and the condition may get worse as they grow. Some have the doubt that will scoliosis stop progressing when you stop growing.

Scoliosis causes the spine to be uneven, some with the shape of “C” and some have the shape of “S”. Since the children continue growing, the spine deformity may likely to progress. So earlier treatment is the most important. In moderate curvature stage, the active curvature correcting method is the most helpful. Because the children are at growing stage, this means they can also better recover from the disease.

When the spine is mature and patients enter adulthood, will the curvature stop growing? This is actually hard to say. In some people, the condition may stay stable; but in others, the disease may cause the curvature continue to increase. If people are at earlier stage, it will be better to treat the disease at early time. Besides surgery treatment, people at earlier stages can choose to correct the curvature through traditional Chinese medicine combination therapy. It is a therapy especially helpful for safely correcting the curvature, it is a combination of typical TCM approaches, individualized and without side effects. We have treatment cases where the children regain their health without future potential risks.

Patient question: My wife has an S curve with both curves being at 50 degrees. She is now 46 years old. The doctor said that surgery is not imperative at this moment but it is something that will eventually have to be done. Since we are getting older, it will become more and more difficult to recover from the surgery. So is it better for her to start surgery earlier, or should we wait as long as possible until surgery has to be done?”

Expert answer:

There are several standards for starting surgery in Scoliosis:

First, spinal curve of over 50 degrees;

Second, spinal curve of 40 to 50 degree that progress rapidly.

Thirdly, other considerations, such as risk of severe complications

Scoliosis operation is a large surgery. It is a process of spinal fusion to straighten the spine. Because your spinal bones protect your spinal cord, your surgeon will move the bones only as far as is safe. As people grow older, the bones become more fragile than young people so there needs overall evaluation of the patient’s condition before determining surgery.

In daily life, it needs to take care to balance nutrition support to make stronger bones. If the patient condition continues to get worse, with complications such as lung damage getting severer, there may be need for initiating surgery and you will need to communicate with the doctor.

So how about your wife’ s general condition now? Does she have symptoms or complications related to Scoliosis? You may email me to scoliosisdoctor123@gmail.com about detailed description of her illness condition and lab reports to me for the help needed.

Wax Therapy is effective for rheumatoid arthritis patients

Wax? You may fell surprised. How can wax used as treatment therapy. Actually, wax therapy has long history in traditional Chinese medicine. And the clinical practice has shown that wax therapy is effective for rheumatoid arthritis patients.
Hou't Therapy developed the traditional wax therapy by combining some special medicines into the specially made wax fat. The wax fat medicine will be applied on the lesions after being heated.
Its main function mechanisms are as following.
1.Tepidity function. As wax has rather high thermal capacity, while its thermal conductivity is low, so the heat of wax therapy can maintain a long time. It can help the absorption of congested blood and accelerate the fading of swelling. Besides, it can enhance the phagocytosis of reticuloendothelial system. And it has the functions of anti-inflammation, improving local nutrition, promoting local metabolism, improving the skin elasticity and limpness and relieving the stiffness and muscle spasm.
2.Mechanical compression function. As wax has good plasticity and sticky, it can impinge on skin closely. During the cooling process, its volume shrinks 10-20%, which generates certain gender mechanical compression for skin and subcutaneous tissue. So it can not only prevent the exudation of lymph and blood but also promote the absorption of effusion.
3.Heat and permeation function. By warming and activating meridian and promoting blood circulation, wax therapy brings the medicine function smoothly into lesions, which combines the medicine effects with physical therapy. So it has good function of dispelling wind and eliminating dampness, warming channels and expelling cold and relaxing tendons and promoting blood circulation.
Actually, except for rheumatoid arthritis, wax therapy can be applied for the following conditions.
1.Chronic injury of soft tissue: cervical spondylosis, lumbar muscle strain, etc;
2.Bone arthritis, rheumatism, rheumatoid disease, ankylosing spondylitis, periarthritis of shoulder and tenosynovitis, synovitis, slippery bursa phlogistic, etc;
3.Trauma or postoperative tissue adhesion, scar, bumps and joint contracture rigidity, etc;
4.Chronic gastroenteritis, gastrointestinal dysfunction, etc;
5.Dysmenorrhea, pelvic inflammation of department of gynaecology. Cold, male impotence, premature ejaculation, the waist knee acid and prostate disease;
6.Skin healthy care.

Nine Non-surgical Treatment Methods for Scoliosis in Zhang’s Combination Therapy (Ⅱ)

This is the continued introducing of Nine Non-surgical Treatment Methods for Scoliosis in Zhang’s Combination Therapy. This part mainly contains six non-surgical treatment methods.

Ⅳ Braces for immobilization: It can consolidate the effects of massage and traction, and make sure the corrected spine steady without rebound. It can also increase intervertebral space, smooth protuberance and correct curvature. A medicine pad is along with the brace and can keep dosing on the diseased region.

Ⅴ Treat by using blood circulation machine :

1. It can activate spine and ligament, help correcting spine curvature.

2. It can correct the dislocation on sideways of spine and curvature of foramen of spinal nerves, eliminate the compression on spinal nerves and the palsy of peripheral nerves.

3. It can relieve muscle fatigue and pain.

4. It can increase oxygen intake and oxygen-carrying function of blood.

5. It can help producing blood cells of spinal cord veins.

6. It can adjust the function of autonomic nerve and improve respiratory system.

7. It can promote intestinal peristalsis as well as intestine and stomach functions, prevent and relieve stomachache, and prevent intestine reverse or ileuses.

Ⅵ Maintaining traction: It can help maintaining the effects of thoracic and lumbar traction, increase intervertebral space, correct and straighten bending spine, soothe intense nerves, and help the blood and qi circulation to transport nutrition all over the body.

Ⅶ Scoliotone: It can strip the adhesion, activate joints, correct distorted ribs and bending and rotated spine. It can also apply medicine on diseased region and form a magnetic field to promote the correction of spine.

Ⅷ recuperation through TCM: According to different conditions, constitutions and stadiums of patients, we use different medicine and doses to assist treatments.

Ⅸ Biological artificial eruption of luminous energy system is composed by electromagnetic wave treatment, luminous energy thermal therapy and artificial eruption therapy. This system is using advanced Germany techniques, and firstly adopted the treatment of heating tissues and diseased tissues, improving the treatment effect through the thermal effect.

With this group of non-surgical treatment methods, Zhang’s Combination Therapy has benefited thousands of patients from all over the world. And we also take some detail medical case of some foreigner patients from Russia, America, Canada and so on.
