Scoliosis Treatment Homeopathy Medicines

Homeopathy offers symptom specific medicines for scoliosis in adults and children. Scoliosis is a misshaping of the spine as seen from the front - where the spine seems shifted right or left - or from a side view, where the spine is bent too far forward or backward, or a combination of the two.

Dr. Vikas Sharma says 'Homeopathic medicines help effectively manage back pain related to scoliosis'. These medicines can be used for supportive help along with conventional treatment physical therapy and chiropractic treatment. 'Curvature of the spine can develop in adults too, and the osteoporosis that can accompany menopause is a risk factor’ says Dr. KS Gopi. NHS UK says scoliosis is degenerative in nature but improves with treatment.

Scoliosis homeopathy medicines by indications

Pain is worse from motion, and touch, and worse after stooping or rising from a seat. Burning sensation in the spine with weakness, a sore feeling on the right side of the spine
• Calcarea Phos - spinal curvature to the left side (Levoscoliosis), patient suffers from a weak spine. The back pain is of drawing nature worsens from motion.

In some cases, pain in the small of the back is present that worsens from sitting or lying. Moving about helps relieve the pain. The back feels as if it is broken. The doctor says Rhus Tox also helps in cases of scoliosis related to an injury.

• Pulsatilla for scoliosis where there is a curvature of the upper part of the spine. Pain in the neck and between scapulae arises with the curvature. The pain between scapulae gets worse from inspiration. Pulsatilla also helps treat curvature of the spine in children with open fontanelles (Soft spots in the skull, or gaps between the skull's growth plates)
