Treatment of scoliosis in Israel involves the use of conservative methods, as well as innovative surgeries necessary in severe cases of the disease. MDI Clinic doctors have an impressive track record of successfully addressing scoliosis in children and adults of all ages.

Diagnosis of the disease

In most cases, the first step in identifying a problem is a visual inspection. Scoliosis, especially in advanced stages, is visible to the naked eye. The first symptoms are asymmetry of the shoulders, shoulder blades, ribs or legs. In severe cases, gait disturbances are noticeable, muscle pain, severe deformities and even consequences in the form of internal organ disorders occur.

Depending on the direction of the curvature of the spine, scoliosis is classified into three groups and denoted by letters similar to the curvature: C, S, Z. Correspondingly: one, two and three curvature arcs.

MDI Clinic examinations are performed with X-rays and, if necessary, MRI. For complex cases requiring surgical intervention, additional blood tests, urine, ECG and investigations by specialized specialists are prescribed.

Scoliosis treatment methods in Israel

First Israeli medicine allows you to deal with problems at different stages. The techniques for children and adults are slightly different.

Ways to combat the problem in childhood.

If the curvature exceeds 50 degrees, specialists prescribe therapeutic exercise, breathing exercises, massage and physiotherapy procedures for natural recovery and prevent the development of pathology.

In the case of an angle of inclination of 30 to 50 degrees, the child may be prescribed to wear a special corset, slowing down the aggravation of scoliosis.

A curvature angle greater than 50 degrees is a more serious problem in which the spine loses its compensatory ability. The consequence is the progression of the problem even into adulthood. The only way to stop the worsening of scoliosis is through surgical intervention, which is called spondylosis. The surgery involves fusing the vertebrae to stop them from moving.

Treatment of scoliosis in adults

The most common cause of scoliosis in adults is age-related changes. Most patients with these problems are people over 50 years of age. MDI Clinic offers these treatments for adults or seniors:

• physical therapy;
• pain medication;
• radio wave therapy.

If such methods do not show effectiveness, surgical interventions are performed at MDI Clinic Medical Center. These include:

• Minimally invasive, gentle surgeries performed through small punctures;
• Stabilization of vertebrae with rods and screws using open intervention.

Increased safety, accuracy and efficiency of surgical interventions are achieved through the use of robotics and neuromonitoring methods by MDI Clinic specialists.
