Effective Treatment of scoliosis through yoga

May 20, 2009

scoliosisyogaMedicine defines scoliosis as a complex rotational and lateral deformity.  It is basically a bend of the human spine. Scoliosis can be classified into one of three categories:  

•    Idiopathic
•    Secondary symptom
•    Congenital

There is no scientific cause of scoliosis. The disease is most prevalent among women. Many myths prevail as to the cause of scoliosis, including improper posture, slouching and uncomfortable positioning of the body, the carrying and lifting of heavy objects and a deficiency of calcium in the diet.

Symptoms

While indications and warning signs of scoliosis development can be identified in adolescence, it is generally adults that are most affected by the condition and the associated agonizing back pain. Constant back pain is usually considered the primary symptom of scoliosis, but it is not.

Symptoms of scoliosis include a marked pattern of shoulder blade development, uneven hip and shoulder level, a varied space between the arms and body; and clothing fitting or hanging improperly on the body.

Treatments

Most of the time, scoliosis patients are kept in observation and surgery is performed on some to correct a severe curvature of the spine.  Surgeries are recommended for those who experience constant persistent pain and for those who are affected physiologically.

While surgery is employed in advanced stages, brace are usually recommended for scoliosis detected in adolescence to prevent further curvature of the spine.

Apart from these medical treatments, yoga is also recommended because it is painless.  Adapting to yoga at the form of bracing will give an ideal result.

Recommended yoga workouts

The crocodile twist posture is considered the best yoga posture for scoliosis patients.The passive back arch relieves the aches caused by scoliosis and also treats related body conditions.

Keeping one leg upwards and the other out is another yoga pose well suited to the treatment of scoliosis.

It helps reduce tension in the leg muscles.  The seated twist position will treat thoracic twist patients. All of these simple yoga exercises help align the body posture.
