Question 2

is anyone familiar with hemihypertrophy?

Accepted Answer

Yes: One side of your body grows more rapidly than the other. The outcome will vary from one person to the next. But the larger side, for instance in the muscles and ribs around the spine can either pull the weaker, less muscled side over, or push it over, so that a curve will develop. Depending on which is happening, the side that is concave must be stretched and the weaker side strenthe minimize the.

Question 4

what is the definition or description of: hemihypertrophy?

Accepted Answer

Hemihypertrophy: Hemihypertrophy or hemihyperplasia is a condition in which one side of the body or a part of one side of the body is larger than the other to an extent considered greater than the normal variation.  Hemihyperplasia as a congenital overgrowth disorder with the asymmetry is important to establish a diagnosis because hemihyperplasia is associated with an increased risk for embryonal tumors.

Question 6

what is the relation between hemihypertrophy and scoliosis?

Accepted Answer

Close: Hemihypertrophy is a asymmetric body habitus, with one side larger than the other.Children with this situation are at risk for developing scoliosis, due to the muscle imbalance-thus bracing may help, but in progressive cases, surgery is more common.

Question 7

anyone have scoliosis from hemihypertrophy?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yhis can be a flexible vompensatory umlbar curve from a leg length discreancy correct with a shoe lift not to be confused with adolescent  idiopathic scoli.

Question 8

could i still gain muscle with hemihypertrophy?

Accepted Answer

Yes!: As long as the muscle structure is normal, and nerve impulses are intact, hypertrophied muscles should still respond to exercise in a similar way that normal muscles do.  Since muscle symmetry is important to maintain good posture and musculoskeletal health, working the NON hypertrophied side more intensively should be considered.

Question 9

anyone coping with scoliosis from hemihypertrophy?

Accepted Answer

Not me: But i recognize the problem. Your one side is more developed muscularly than the other, and the weaker side is less able to support your spine, so you can start to bend toward the side with more muscle. This can be painful. The best solution if the condition is not very advanced is to keep the more developed side well stretched and work to strengthen the weaker side. Pt will help. Avoid bracing.

Question 10

i have hemihypertrophy & i have been  having pain in my lower back. i haven't see a doctor in over 10 yrs, is this something urgent?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: If the pain has been present for a while and you do not have any other associated symptoms, such as numbness or weakness in your leg, loss of bladder or bowel control, etc., then is probably not urgent. However, chronic back pain can affect your entire life, so it would be wise to see a doctor for this pain.
