Patient's question:
The other day, while working on a construction site, I accidentally got hit by two falling wooden boards. It hurt quite a bit, but I thought it wouldn't be serious, so I didn't pay much attention to it. However, in the past couple of days, it's been hurting really bad. So I checked it carefully, and the result is scoliosis. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
After this type of trauma reoccurs, spinal curvature must be actively treated with symptomatic therapy. First, it is necessary to conduct a thorough examination to determine the nature of the fracture. If there is no severe bone damage, it can generally be stabilized through physical therapy. Further examination can assess the severity of the condition, and appropriate corrections can alleviate it. The majority of spinal curvatures require specific treatment methods to be determined based on the condition, which may include external fixation or bracing.
