Advances in targeted non-surgical treatments for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis(AIS) is the most prevalent type of scoliosis,which is a three-dimensional spinal deformity easily manifested during the rapid growth phase of puberty.AIS not only imposes physiological impairments on motor abilities and internal organ functions,but also significantly impacts the self-image and psychological well-being.Given the crucial stage of height development,surgical intervention is only recommended to severe cases due to the high risk.Non-surgical treatments provide non-invasive or minimally invasive alternatives to effectively ameliorate spinal curvature,thus benefiting patients with mild-to-moderate scoliosis.Currently,multiple non-surgical approaches are available,including bracing,exercise therapy,electrical stimulation therapy,and traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) methods.By adopting tailored strategies that address individual circumstances and potential triggers,and employing a combination of these methods,optimal outcomes can be achieved.This article provided a comprehensive review of the potential causes,presenting symptoms,and non-surgical treatment measures for AIS,aiming to provide a scientific basis for clinical prevention,treatment,and basic research.
