Kinda worried kasi di ko ineexpect na magkakaruon ako... sa upper part [textspeak!] curve... ind na ba [textspeak!] bumabalik sa dati except magpa-surgery ka?... TIA

^ if you're above 18 years old na sis, hindi na daw babalik unless you undergo a surgery, but sabi ng doctor ko, they do not recommend surgery kung below 40 degrees naman. they said therapy lang but that would only ease the pain and teach you proper posture para hindi na mag progress.

ay korek sis therapy daw ang solution..
kaya lang kung yung upuan naman sa office is hindi ergo friendly, so balewala din... :s

Ako meron scoliosis since 14 years old... Puro therapy at exercise (stretching, swimming, yoga, pilates) lang ang ginagawa ko. Minsan kapag tinatamad mag-exercise ayun, sumasakit na naman ang likod.

mistrycris... Baka may connection, sakin kasi yung ribcage ko medyo tabingi din, mas prominent yung isang side

miyakahh... sis depende yan sa work na papasukan mo, kung kailangan ng physical strength like service crew, resto manager or flight attendant baka bumagsak ka. May mga kilala ako na mas malala pa sakin ang scoliosis pero may work naman sila, madalas sa office sila.

ako 32 degrees na base sa latest xray ko tapos to the right din ang angle
malala na ba yun mga sis kung may nakakaalam sa inyo?
kaya pa naman siguro ng therapy yun di ba?

sis pag 32 degrees, considered moderate ang scolio mo. as you have read in the previous posts here, exercises specific for scoliosis would really help.  there are some exercises available sa net, but i would suggest for you to undergo Physical therapy.  Since may degree ang scolio mo, i assume you had already consulted a MD?  helpfulrin ang exercises to strengthen the abdominals and back.  knowing exercises that target core muscles are also good.

ay thanks sis princess, my doctor asked me to have an x-ray kasi, not the chest xray but i think its called the spinal xray hehe instead naka talikod, naka harap ako tas meron pang view na naka side..
base sa result ayun nga 32 degrees na siya ever..
need to do something about this.. sabi nga nung isa ko kakilala yung therapy daw parang nagyo-yoga ka lang.. hehe
makakatulong din siguro sa pagpayat ito di ba..

[princess27]

yeah, shooting 2 birds with one stone!

mga sis.... pasali!

gusto ko na rin ipatingin ang back ko... kasi sa mga pictures, parang kuba na ako!

may healthcard naman ako and i know covered ang consultation at xray nito.

question...anong doctor ako magpapacheck up and what kind of xray dapat?

thanks a lot!!

[fallen_@ngeL]

ayun sis juicy, pag pumunta ka naman sa mga medical city, heathway or etc.. ask muna nila ano papa check up mo then they'll direct you to the right doctor and yung doctor na mag check-up sayo mismo ang magsabi kung what type of xray you'll be needing, they'll give you a prescription.

okidoki! thanks a lot sis! 

[icy_ace]

hello. i have dextroscoliosis too. is there anybody here who underwent surgery here in the philippines? How was it and how much did it cost? Anong hospital? sorry , dami kong tanong... thanks in advance.

[eeatrice]

i had my check-up with an orthodoctor years ago, and he told me i had a lumbar dextrocoliosis...

lately, im having severe back pain so i consulted a rehab doctor, she advised me to undergo a 6 sessions therapy for me to know the proper way of sitting, walking and the right exercise.

i will be having my therapy next week at DLS-STI, Megamall.
i already inquired via phone and i was told that therapy cost 550 per session.

[juicy]

my husband had his therapy there also...pero sa dislocated shoulder nya.

they are good ha..

and sagot ng maxicare, so kung my healthcard kayo... atleast makalibre. 

[bloody_venus]

meron din akong dextroscoliosis nalaman ko lang kanina nung nagre-medical ako for my job, last year naman walang sinabi sa akin na meron pala akong scoliosis nakakainis wala din kasi akong naramdaman na backpain, sayang wala na akong maxicare kasi iba na job ko ngayon.

Had an x-ray done last month and had my nurse friends look at it. So far my spine is looking good, hindi naman lumala yung kurba when compared to my x-ray last year. Nagkamali din lang siguro ako ng dinig sa doctor ko, baka 13 degrees lang ang curvature ko instead of 30. Bihira na ring sumakit yung likod ko. Natulungan siguro ng swimming.

i was diagnosed with scoliosis 10 years ago. first doctor ko said na magpa-braces ako pero i was in my teens so awkward stage kaya ayoko. few months after we went to orthopedic center tapos yung doctor naman said na operation na agad (costs around P30k) e mild pa yung case ko nun so naguluhan lalo kami. few years after sa medical city naman ako nagpunta, surgery na talaga (P150k) since more than 45 degrees na yata yung curvature ng spine ko. mga after a year nag-try naman ako mag-chiro therapy kaso masakit e so i stopped. ilang years pa dumaan nagpacheck up ulit ako sa medical city and i made sure na spine specialist yung doctor ko. 78 degrees na yung upper curvature then 50 yung lower so talagang surgery na. kaso P600k na daw ang cost kaya hindi pa rin ako natuloy. lately pilates naman tri-ny ko pero for pain lang kasi yun, it wont really help much with the deviation of my spine since severe na. i want to undergo operation na nga kaso we dont have money yet. dream ko pa naman maging FA. nasa 5'7"-5'8" siguro height ko if i didnt have scoliosis.

^ Naku sis hirap ng situation mo. Severe na yung scoliosis mo naging S shape na. Do you have any relatives with scoliosis kasi hereditary din yan e. Ako naman nakuha ko sa bad posture and carrying heavy bags. Kasi before I like using sling bags e usually mabigat bag ko so hindi balance. Thank God hindi naman nag-progress yung curve.

[cai2179]

^we dont know anyone from both sides of my family na meron e. kaya pareho tayo, probable cause lang talaga is yung sudden growth spurt kasi nung nagstart yung curvature, almost 1 foot tinangkad ko in a year lang, samahan pa ng heavy lifting(madami kaming books nun) and bad posture(among the tallest ako sa class). nakakainis nga kasi limited yung mga jobs na pwede saken. ayoko pa naman ng office work.

sabi nga ng pilates instructor ko iba-iba din talaga yung case ng mga may scoliosis. you're really lucky na hindi na nagwoworse yung case mo. pero it's better din if especially less than 45 degrees yung sayo pwede pang therapy yan.
