Don’t Let Scoliosis Hold You Back

Scoliosis is more than just a spinal curve; it is a diverse and complex condition requiring a multidisciplinary treatment and management approach that acknowledges the physical, mental, emotional, and social aspects.

Our clinic utilizes exercises from proven rehabilitation schools namely The Schroth Method, that are specifically designed to address the 3D deformity of your spine.

​

The treatment decisions in idiopathic scoliosis are typically based on the size of the curve, also known as the Cobb angle. Here’s what you can expect for treatment based on the angle:

  • Curves between 10-25°: Scoliosis-specific physiotherapy;

  • Curves between 20-35°: A combination of scoliosis-specific physiotherapy and part-time spinal bracing;

  • ≥35° Full time bracing and scoliosis specific exercises;

  • Curves over 45°: A conversation with an orthopedic spine surgeon is necessary to determine if a spinal surgery such as spinal fusion or vertebral body tethering are appropriate. 

 

​

Goals and main objectives:

​

  • Avoidance of surgery;

  • prevention of further progression;

  • Stabilization of spinal corrections in three dimensions;

  • Improve postural muscle endurance;

  • Increase of chest mobility and respiratory function;

  • Trunk symmetry – cosmetic improvements;

  • Postural awareness and control of postural changes;

  • Home exercise program (HEP);

  • Pain relief;

  • Improved quality of life.
