Scoliosis

(laeticia) #1
Scoliosis can also aggravate or establish pressure on the
nerves that are inside and around the spine. This can
cause discomfort, numbness, and a tingling feeling in your
lower back that can be felt down to your feet. Steroid and
local anesthetic injections into your back will aid in these
cases. Usually, however, the results of these injections last
only a few weeks or months, so they are not typically a
long-term remedy.

Spinal Injections


Back braces


For adult treatments back braces are rarely used. However
back braces can help with pain by aiding the spine. If an
adult is not fit enough for surgery a brace would be
recommended.
