Scoliosis

(laeticia) #1
Except for osteoporosis-related scoliosis, most cases of
scoliosis can not be prevented. No evidence suggests
that improving posture or doing exercise can prevent
scoliosis. For osteoporosis-related scoliosis, certain
measures can be taken such as increasing bone mass
and strengthening the bones, by taking adequate
amounts of calcium and vitamin D. Also regular weight-
bearing exercise, and the use of bone-building machines
can help prevent spinal fracture cases. In certain
situations, the disease can be stopped from getting
worse by early diagnosis.
