Scoliosis & Breast Cancer
This is an excerpt from the paper...
The disease known as Scoliosis is a lateral curvature of the spine. There are four main types of scoliosis: congenital, ideopathic, postural, and scoliosis that is due to neuromuscular disease. Congenital scoliosis exists from birth in a condition where the vertebrae are malformed. The only correction for this kind of scoliosis is surgery. Idiopathic scoliosis typically occurs in infancy, childhood or adolescence. Surgical fusion of vertebrae, insertion of Harrington rods to stabilize the spine, or a back brace are the common methods used of treating ideopathic scoliosis, depending on the degree of severity of the disease. Postural scoliosis often emerges from postural misalignment and postural alignment therapy is often an effective and efficient form of treatment. Scoliosis due to neuromuscular disease is typically treating in keeping with the treatment for the disease that has manifested it, such as polio, cerebral palsy, spina bifida, or others. Some methods, like the Scoliosis Treatment Recovery System (STRS), avoid surgery and other invasive methods of correction and try to arrest spinal curvature through the use of braces which straighten the spine much like “braces straighten teeth” (STRS, 2000, 1). At the current time no one has pinpointed the exact cause of scoliosis, but since the disorder runs in families, researchers suspect genetics as playing a primary role (Aitcheson, 1996, 1).
