🩻 Scoliosis: Diagnosis & Treatment!
Have you ever noticed that one of your shoulders is higher than the other? Or maybe you experience frequent back pain and feel like your posture is slightly off? This could be scoliosis—a serious spinal curvature that doesn’t just affect your posture but can also impact your internal organs.
💡 What happens to your body with scoliosis?
This complex condition is characterised by the abnormal curvature of the spine, affecting the body in three planes. It causes the spine, ribs, shoulders, and pelvis to twist in different directions, which can flatten the thoracic spine and lead to noticeable curvature. The earlier scoliosis is detected, the easier it is to manage.
🚨 Common myths about scoliosis treatment:
❌ Massage, osteopathy, and manual therapy – These may relieve tension temporarily, but they don’t correct spinal curvature.
❌ Swimming and general physical therapy (PT) – While beneficial for overall health, they won’t stop scoliosis from progressing without a targeted approach.
🩺 What actually works?
✔ Accurate diagnosis – A full-spine X-ray taken while standing in two planes is the only way to precisely assess the severity of scoliosis.
✔ Physiotherapeutic Scoliosis Specific Exercises (PSSE: Schroth, SEAS) – These are curve pattern specific exercises, based on 3D self-correction and activities of daily living training.
✔ Bracing (Chêneau method) – Recommended for certain degrees of curvature to support and guide spinal correction alongside targeted exercises.
✔ Surgery – Considered only in severe cases where the curvature exceeds 50 degrees.
