Question
How is scoliosis caused by cerebral palsy treated?
Answer
Scoliosis caused by cerebral palsy can be corrected through surgical intervention. Treatment for such conditions often involves conservative measures, including medication, the use of corrective braces, or wearing corrective back supports. If conservative treatments are ineffective, surgical treatment may be considered. A comprehensive examination is required before treatment, including full-length X-rays of the spine to measure the degree of kyphosis, as well as pulmonary function tests.
