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. Getting
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.
