Question:
Scoliosis and more need advise?
My granddauther went to a new doctor today, to us she is happy and healthy, the doctor said hi believes she has three condition, one is Scolisis, ywo Torticollis and Klippel-feil syndrone.......do not know about any of these and what to do and turn, the doctor wants to start treatment and physical theripy, but the I think part from him disturbs me. Any advise on this, thank you.
Answers:
Scoliosis is when the spine is S shaped. Physical therapy can help strengthen the muscles around the spine and help elevate (or decrease) future problems. Torticollis and Klippel-Feil syndrome both involve the cervical vertebrae located in her neck. Torticollis is a neurological disorder in that her brain is telling her neck muscle to contract involuntarily. Resulting in the tilting of the head in one direction or the other (front, back, side to side). Klippel-Feil refers to a fused (two vertebrae stuck together) or malformed vertebrae in her neck. I would take the advise of her doctor, sounds like he's being proactive to help the problems involved.
PS All three diagnosis' can be minor, ask you doctor for more info or do a search on google. There is lots of good info out there.
