Suggest treatment for Scoliosis
Patient: I was diagnosed with scoliosis when i was in middle school. I am now 23. I have days when my back hurts all day. I work as a nursing assistant. I have a back brace that i bought. Its not a medical brace just a ordinary brace. Do i need to follow up and have it rechecked since its been a while since a doctor last looked at my back. Doctor: Dear- thanks for using our service and will give you my medical advise. It is important to have a follow up of your scoliosis with an orthopedic. This is a condition that can get worse and give you more symptoms as you get older. You nee a medical brace, one that has been made for your specific measurements and support. This is something that will avoid to get worse and will relieve the pain.I hope that my advise has been helpfulDrSara
