Dr. dr. Ninis Sri Prasetyowati, Sp.KFR, an expert consultant from the Scoliosis Care Clinic, said that people are still unaware of the importance of scoliosis education, whereas the prevalence of scoliosis is increasing at around three percent in the world and 4-5 percent in Indonesia.
Scoliosis, dr. Ninis, can occur since infancy and childhood at 0-3 years old (infantile), 4-9 years old (juvenile), 10-19 years old (adolescent), and over 19 years old (adult). Progressiveness of scoliosis occurs at the age of 10-18 years.
When viewed by gender, said dr. Ninis, scoliosis is more common in women. "Overall, 80 percent of scoliosis is idiopathic scoliosis," said dr. Ninis, in a press release received by NNC, Tuesday (7/17/2018).
Furthermore, dr. Ninis said that scoliosis can occur due to genetic factors, congenital or congenital abnormalities, bone formation disorders or neurological and habitual disorders or habits of carrying heavy items.
"Accurate and early Scoliosis detection is important and can be done by examining whether there is a bulge in the shoulder, or if the waist and hip bones have a curve tha should not be there," said Dr. Ninis.
One way of treatment that can be done by patients is with non-surgical therapy. Non-surgical therapy is said to be a new hope for scoliosis patients because it can correct a large degree curve.
"Generally, non-surgical therapy is the use of brace, exercise, and physical exercise with physiotherapy tools to reduce pain. Brace is very instrumental to correct the curve, especially for patients who have a curve of more than 30 degrees and adding in exercise in accordance with the shape of the curve, not a conventional exercise," said Dr. Ninis.
