It is a sad day when one has to deal with pediatric disorders of the family. Most people believe that children should not suffer physical problems. However, the reality must be faced that pediatric disorders can happen. The good news is that physiotherapy offers some help for them.
Unfortunately, there are many pediatric disorders. To name a few, are: scoliosis, torticollis, Osgood-Schlatter, sports and traumatic injuries, reluctant walkers, developmental disorders, cerebral palsy and genetic disorders.
Physiotherapy for scoliosis - curvature of the spine - consists of exercises to strengthen the back. Electrical stimulation is used for this type of pediatric disorders. Stimulation goes directly to the skeletal muscles. Chiropractic is also used in an effort to straighten the spine.
Torticollis is a type of pediatric disorders of the neck. There is a problem with one of the muscles of the neck so that the child is not able to keep your head up. The head tilts to one side. This will be the chin stand on the opposite side of the neck. Physiotherapy can stretch this muscle, so the child can hold his head more normally.
spinal cord injuries as pediatric disorders are difficult to treat. Children often do not want to do the work required to stay ahead of the damage that can be caused by this condition. Physiotherapy staff are challenged to maintain the spirit of children to teach them how to exercise with and without special equipment.
Brain injury, including cerebral palsy and strokes are pediatric disorders that must be managed delicately. The neurological system is often not as robust as the skeletal and muscular systems. However, brain injuries also involve these other systems as well.
A new treatment for these disorders and pediatric brain injuries are using hyperbaric oxygen therapy. This type of physiotherapy is based on the idea that, under these conditions, there are often parts of the brain that are not working, but can be revived. HBOT can sometimes revive.
pediatric disorders such as sports injuries and traumatic injuries require different types of physiotherapy based on the location and severity of the injury. If a child is repeatedly sprained the same ankle, therapy will necessarily focus on the ankle, as well as any body part that supports or counterbalances that ankle. total force is important.
Traumatic injuries require a certain amount of psychological training, as the subject of accident or other proof can be distressing, the child will not work. A good therapist will be able to work with a child. Traumatic injuries also can be so severe that the physiotherapist plans a lengthy course of therapy to overcome. Pediatric disorders like this require patience from everyone involved.
The list of pediatric disorders is long and varied. Not all of them can be helped by physiotherapy at this time. At this time, physical therapy can be used in many cases to relieve symptoms or even reverse the damage. Physiotherapy performs a valuable role in helping children live a normal life.
