TREATMENT OF SCOLIOSIS BY TRADITIONAL MEDICINE

THERAPIES

Defined as a lateral deviation of the

spinal column, scoliosis affects not only the
structure of the spinal cord but also the
functions of the nerve centers located at the
level of the bone marrow, a reason for
which the vertebral deviations have also
neurological consequences. These nerve
centers coordinate the activity of the organs
in the body. The pressure exerted upon them
will lead to a faulty function of the organs
and consequently to metabolic disorders or
even to associated chronic diseases. At
cerebral level, there can be noticed a poor
cerebral oxygenation, diminished
concentration capacity; memory, sleep and
psychic disorders, etc.

The main causes that lead to scoliosis are an incorrect body posture assumed for a long
time and sedentariness. The deviation also occurs where there is a predisposition of the body,
such as a degeneration of the vertebral joints and ligaments as well as a weakening of the
paravertebral muscles’ tone (hypotonia). In adults, scoliosis also occurs as a consequence of
the aging process, especially where there is osteoporosis or osteoarthritis.

Infantile scoliosis accounts for the most frequent cases; the first symptoms appear
around the age of 8-10. During puberty, when the process of growing becomes accelerated,
the curves may become aggravated. The increased deformation raise the risk of torsioning one
or several vertebrae and deforming the thorax, the abdomen and the paravertebral
areas. Gibbosity or thorax deformation reduces the pulmonary capacity and causes
overstraining of the cardiac muscle, therefore raising the risk of cardiac diseases.

When does the doctor recommend a specialty consultation?

Medical investigations are recommended when there is an asymmetry in the shoulders

(a shoulders appears to be higher), C or S - shaped curves in the backbone; asymmetry in the
hip (one hip is higher), when one shoulder blade is more prominent than the other one, and the

head is not centered upon the middle axe of the body. At the same time, pain in the
paravertebral muscles may be the manifestation of an early scoliosis.

A lot of people have backbone curves of less than 10 degrees. From the perspective of
the traditional medicine, scoliosis must be treated properly, even where there is a deviation of
less than 10 degrees, mainly because of the neurological obstructions and of the body
dysfunctions that it causes. The deviations of over 30 degrees inclination require a medicinal
corset, too. Where there are deformations of over 50 degrees, surgery is advisable.

Treatment

In the traditional medicine, the scoliosis treatment aims at the restoration of the natural
vertebral route by acupuncture and Tibetan thermo-therapy techniques, osteo-articular
manipulation, medicinal gymnastics and herbs products. The totality of therapies involved
serve to eliminate the hypotonia (weakening of the paravertebral muscles’ tone), to reduce the
inflammation and the contraction of the muscles and ligaments. The intervertebral ligaments
are functionally and structurally restored if there are minor or medium lesions. The herb
products contain active substances that work for the healing of the associated chronic diseases,
but also for the recovery of the local tissues’ structure.
