Scoliosis 101: Key Things to Know 🌟
Scoliosis is a sideways spine curve, often developing during childhood or adolescence. Early detection and proper care can make a big difference. Here are the essentials:
1️⃣ What is Scoliosis? It’s a spine curve that can cause uneven shoulders, hips, or ribs, ranging from mild to severe.
2️⃣ Types: Idiopathic (unknown cause), Congenital (from birth), and Neuromuscular (linked to conditions like muscular dystrophy).
3️⃣ Forward Bend Test: A quick check where the person bends forward—uneven ribs or a hump may signal scoliosis. Imaging confirms it.
4️⃣ Bracing: For kids with moderate curves, bracing helps prevent progression while they grow.
5️⃣ Schroth Method: A proven, exercise-based approach to improve posture, breathing, and spinal alignment, customized to individual needs.
