What is dextroscoliosis contained by thoracic spine? how it will be cured?
Answers:
A lateral curvature (in this case, to the right) of the part of the spine that your ribs are attached to. It can be minor, and never be a problem, or can be quite severe, adequate so that one can be considered "hunchbacked". When most severe, can restrict the lung capacity enough to cause disease or even demise.
A lot depends on the degree of angle of the curvature, usually expressed in a number. They used to put people surrounded by a long body brace, nowadays, they can insert rods in the spine to stabilize it.
You will need to listen to your doctor for further counsel.
An addition to finaldx's answer:
If the patient is still growing, a brace may be used to prevent further curvature of the spine - it will not reverse what is already there.
If the merciful has stopped growing, and/or the curvature is severe, surgery may be done to straighten the spine by putting metal rods on either side. Source(s): I'm a physician, and my daughter has scoliosis. An xray after that this month will let us know if surgery is in her future :(
