Can Severe Lumbar Curvature Be Corrected?

1. Severe lumbar curvature can generally be corrected. Once lumbar curvature occurs, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly and cooperate with doctors for active treatment. The earlier the treatment, the better the recovery outcome.

2. The causes of severe lumbar curvature are related to congenital lumbar deformation, and may also be caused by lumbar muscle strain, lumbar disc herniation, and other reasons. Under the influence of these factors, lumbar protrusion may occur, leading to lumbar deformation and lumbar curvature. After severe curvature, lumbar traction therapy is required. Repeated traction can enlarge the intervertebral space and enable the protruded lumbar vertebrae to retract, thereby achieving the purpose of treating the disease. It is also necessary to wear braces, which can improve lumbar curvature.

3. If surgical requirements are met, surgical treatment can also be considered, such as osteotomy, correction, and internal fixation surgery, which can correct lumbar curvature and deformity. Surgery can also be performed through anterior or posterior approaches according to doctors' recommendations, which can improve lumbar deformation and protrusion. Through standardized and effective treatment, not only can lumbar curvature symptoms be corrected, but patients' quality of life can also be improved.

4. After surgery, appropriate rest is required. Heavy physical labor and lifting heavy objects should be avoided to prevent lumbar displacement. During this period, the waist should be kept warm to prevent local cold exposure, which may affect the recovery outcome of the disease.
