Scoliosis treatment is NOT just about stretching the concavity and strengthening the convexity.

➡️ This outdated approach ignores the 3D nature of scoliosis. The spine doesn’t just curve sideways, it rotates, shifts, and affects posture, breathing, and balance in three dimensions.

🔄 That’s why scoliosis management requires a 3D approach in every aspect:
🔹 Exercises must address rotation, alignment, and posture from all angles.
🔹 Braces should be designed to de-rotate, elongate, and stabilize the spine not just “push” from one side.
🔹 Wheelchairs and seating systems must support proper pelvic alignment and trunk symmetry not force a flat or imbalanced position.

💡 Let’s move beyond old-school thinking and support children and teens with scoliosis using up-to-date, evidence-based care

When we hear idiopathic scoliosis, many think “it just happens.” But sometimes, scoliosis is more than just a curve. it can be a sign of something deeper in the nervous system. 🧩

📚 A systematic review published highlights important red flags that may indicate underlying neural axis abnormalities conditions within the spinal cord that could be missed without an MRI.

🔍 Risk Factors That May Warrant an MRI:

✅ Early onset of scoliosis
✅ Atypical or rapidly progressing curves
✅ Left thoracic or right thoracolumbar curves
✅ Neurological signs like:
• Abnormal reflexes
• Clonus
• Weakness or numbness
• Headaches or neck pain

💡 The study found that a significant number of scoliosis patients with these signs had abnormalities visible on MRI, such as syrinxes or tethered cords. These findings can change treatment plans and help avoid serious complications.

👨‍⚕️ So, when your doctor recommends an MRI, it’s not to scare you. It’s a smart, precautionary step to make sure we understand the full picture and provide the safest, most effective treatment. ❤️

📌 Key message: Every scoliosis case is unique. MRI isn’t always needed, but in certain cases, it’s a vital tool for early detection of hidden neurological conditions.

عارف إن فرق في طول الرجلين ممكن يأثر على استقامة العمود الفقري كله؟ 🤔

👉 فرق طول الرجلين يعني إن فيه رجل أطول من التانية، سواء الفرق ده حقيقي (في العضم) أو ناتج عن مشاكل في الوقفة أو شد عضلي أو مشاكل في المفاصل.
🌀 الجسم بيحاول يعوّض الفرق ده، وده ممكن يسبب ميل في الحوض وبالتالي يحصل انحناء في العمود الفقري.

🚨 أعراض ممكن تبان:
• حوض عالي عن التاني
• كتف أعلى من التاني
• مشية مش متزنة أو فيها عرجة بسيطة

💡 الكشف المبكر بيفرق! ممكن تقييم عند أخصائي علاج طبيعي توضح إذا كان فيه فرق في الطول بيأثر على العمود الفقري، ونعرف إزاي نعدل الوضع.

📏 العلاج ممكن يشمل تمارين، تعديل في الأحذية، برنامج خاص بالانحناء حسب درجته ومكانه.

📍ماينفعش نعالج الضهر من غير ما نبص على الرجلين والقدمين.

Did you know that a difference in leg length can affect the alignment of your entire spine?

👉 Leg Length Discrepancy (LLD) means one leg is shorter than the other whether it’s a true anatomical difference or a functional imbalance due to posture, muscle spasticity or shortening in one side than the other, or joint abnormalities.
🌀 Over time, the body tries to compensate, which can lead to pelvic tilt and curvature in the spine, mimicking or even contributing to scoliosis.

🚨 Signs to watch for:
• One hip higher than the other
• Uneven shoulders
• Limping or altered walking pattern

💡 Early detection matters! A simple assessment by a physical therapist can help determine if scoliosis is being influenced by LLD and how to manage it effectively.

📏 Whether it’s through shoe inserts, posture correction, or scoliosis-specific exercises, a customized plan can go a long way in restoring balance.

📍Let’s not overlook the feet when we treat the spine

ليه بيحصل إمساك ؟

الأطفال اللي عندهم مشاكل حركية شديدة بيعانوا من:
• 💪 ضعف في عضلات البطن
• 🛏️ قلة الحركة والقعدة أو النوم لفترات طويلة
• 🍽️ صعوبات في البلع والتغذية
• 💊 أدوية بتأثر على حركة الأمعاء
• 🌀 انحناء العمود الفقري اللي بيأثر على حركة الجهاز الهضمي

✨ إيه اللي ممكن يساعد؟
• شرب مياه كفاية وأكل غني بالألياف
• الوضعية الصحيحة خصوصًا القعدة بزاوية مستقيمة
• مساج للبطن وتحفيز الحركة
• أوقات بيكون العلاج بالأدوية ضروري
• تعاون بين الدكاترة، وأخصائيين العلاج الطبيعي والوظيفي، والتغذية، والأهل

خلينا نبص على الطفل كله، مش بس على انحناء الضهر. لأن صحة الجهاز الهضمي جزء أساسي من الراحة والكرامة وجودة الحياة.

🧡 الأطفال اللي عندهم انحناء في العمود الفقري محتاجين رعاية شاملة تحترم احتياجاتهم كلها، مش بس شكل الضهر.

🧩 Why does it happen?
Children with severe motor impairments face:
• 💪 Low abdominal muscle tone
• 🛏️ Limited mobility and prolonged sitting/lying
• 🍽️ Feeding and swallowing difficulties (dysphagia)
• 💊 Medication side effects
• 🌀 Altered gut motility due to spinal curvature

📊 Evidence:
• Studies show children with GMFCS V have significantly higher rates of constipation and dysphagia than other levels.
• Up to 22% of non-ambulatory children post-scoliosis surgery develop severe bowel issues.
• Abdominal distention, pain, and irregular bowel habits are common but often under-addressed in care plans.

🩺 Constipation is more than discomfort, it can worsen feeding, sleep, respiratory status, and even spinal treatment.

✨ What helps?
• Proper hydration and fiber
• Proper positioning(especially seated upright)
• Abdominal massage and mobility
• In some cases, medical intervention is essential
• Collaborative care between physicians, PTs, OTs, nutritionists, and families

Let’s look beyond the spine and remember that gut health is essential for function, comfort, and dignity.

🧡 Children with scoliosis deserve the proper care , one that treats the child, not just the curve.

تشرفت بمشاركتي في مؤتمر SOSORT 2025 العالمي المتخصص في علاج انحناء العمود الفقري، واللي بيجمع كل التخصصات المعنية من: جراحة العظام، والعلاج الطبيعي، والأطباء، والـ orthotists 👩‍⚕️🧑‍⚕️

🎤 ألقيت خلال المؤتمر محاضرة عن أهمية التوعية بتأثير الانحناء على جودة الحياة، باستخدام استبيانات علمية متخصصة (Quality of Life Questionnaires)، وده جزء مهم بنغفل عنه أحيانًا رغم تأثيره الكبير على الصحة النفسية والجسدية.

📊 وكان ليا شرف كمان بالمشاركة في دراسة جماعية بتتناول نتائج استخدام الحزام والتمارين باستخدام schroth concept في تحسين حالات انحناء العمود الفقري

📣 فخورة بخطوة جديدة في مشواري، وبشكر كل من دعمني وساعدني أكون جزء من هذا الحدث العلمي الكبير 💙⁩

On Scoliosis Awareness Day, it’s one of those moments that remind us why we do what we do 💚

We had the honor of welcoming our favorite psycheducator sara salem to our clinic, who came to speak with our amazing scoliosis warriors about their struggles with bracing, body image, and the emotional rollercoaster that comes with it.

She spoke about self-love, acceptance, and the beauty of embracing ourselves just as we are.

We are deeply thankful for her time, her words, and the safe space she created today.

And to our brave patients...
Thank you for showing up, for speaking your truth, and for admitting your fears. You’ve touched our hearts more than you know.

Living with scoliosis doesn’t mean living with limits 💚

Too often, people are told what they can’t do:
“Don’t move too much.”
“Stay cautious.”
“Play it safe.”

But here’s what I see every day, people with curved spines doing yoga, dancing, hiking, lifting, showing up to life in bold and beautiful ways.

💫 You don’t need a straight spine to live a strong, joyful, and active life.
💫 You can move freely, wear what you love, and be proud of who you are.

Let’s talk less about restrictions and more about possibilities.

🌍 يونيو هو شهر التوعية بالجنف ومن ضمن أنواعه هو الجنف العصبي العضلي.

الجنف العصبي العضلي هو نوع من أنواع انحناء العمود الفقري اللي بيظهر غالبًا عند الأطفال المصابين بحالات عصبية أو عضلية زي الشلل الدماغي أو الضمور العضلي.

الجنف في الحالة دي مش بس بيسبب انحناء في الظهر، لكنه كمان ممكن يؤثر على:

🔹 القدرة على التنفس
🔹 الراحة أثناء الجلوس أو النوم
🔹 التوازن
🔹 الحركة اليومية والوظيفة

💬 وعشان كده، التعامل مع الجنف العصبي العضلي محتاج خطة شاملة بتراعي كل الجوانب: من تمارين التنفس، لتقوية العضلات، لدعم الجلوس، ولتخفيف الألم.

التدخل المبكر بيحدث فرق كبير، ومش الهدف بس تعديل شكل الظهر، لكن كمان تحسين جودة حياة الطفل بشكل عام.

شاركوا التوعية، يمكن تكونوا سبب إن طفل ياخد فرصة أفضل للحركة والراحة 💚

🌍 June is Scoliosis Awareness Month, including neuromuscular scoliosis.

Neuromuscular scoliosis is a type of spinal curvature that often develops in children with neurological or muscular conditions, such as cerebral palsy or muscular dystrophy.

In these cases, scoliosis isn’t just about the shape of the spine, it can also impact:

🔹 Breathing
🔹 Comfort while sitting or sleeping
🔹 Balance
🔹 Daily movement and function

💬 That’s why managing neuromuscular scoliosis requires a comprehensive approach that supports all aspects of the child’s well-being, from breathing exercises and muscle strengthening to seating support and pain relief.

Early intervention can make a huge difference, not just in posture, but in the child’s overall quality of life.

Help spread awareness, you might be the reason a child gets a better chance at comfort and mobility 💙
