Scoliosis

(laeticia) #1
Most scoliosis can't be prevented, except for
osteoporosis-related scoliosis. There are no studies that
suggest correcting posture or doing exercises can
prevent scoliosis. For osteoporosis-related scoliosis,
certain measures can be taken such as increasing bone
mass and strengthening the bones, by taking sufficient
amounts of calcium and vitamin D. Also doing regular
weight-bearing exercise, and the use of bone-building
medications can help prevent spinal fracture cases. In
some cases, scoliosis can be prevented from getting
worse by early diagnosis.
