Patient's question:
Born with polio at 8 months old, had one knee surgery at 18 years old, but it didn't improve. Now 45, I have spinal curvature. My shoulders are becoming increasingly uneven! Local hospitals recommend surgery for correction, but the risk is high and the technology is not mature! My chest leans to the left and my waist to the right. How can this be treated?Doctor's answer:
Due to polio causing limb dysfunction and long-term deformities that can lead to spinal damage, based on your above examination and symptoms, currently there is no better method than spinal surgery correction. It is recommended that you maintain a healthy lifestyle, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and seek further examination and treatment at a larger, Grade III-A hospital when necessary.
