Scoliosis Treatment for Adolescent and Adult
(Conservative, Non-Surgery Management)
Scoliosis is a sideway and rotational curvature of the spine, often develop during adolescence and worsens as we age. The following are some of the symptoms that are commonly seen:
- Uneven shoulders
- Uneven hips
- Leaning to one side
- A visibly curved spine
- Prominent rib cage on one side
- Prominent shoulder blade (hump) on one side
Scoliosis management
We treat scoliosis using the Scientific Exercises Approach to Scoliosis (SEAS) protocol and Physiotherapeutic scoliosis-specific exercises (PSSE).
It is not a methodology but an approach and as such it’s in a continuous evolution thanks to the knowledge and to the scientific evidence that ISICO achieves through research.
The treatment protocol is used with patients with mild scoliosis (below 15°): it is the first step when trying to avoid bracing.
It is important to understand that the exercises can’t replace the brace, but they have the capacity to train self-awareness, reflexes, and motor alertness.
The results show their utility in scoliotic patients.
The scientific evidence has shown that the exercises can reduce bracing and in case of patients wearing the brace, they help in maintaining the correction achieved during brace weaning.
For curves over 35°, the brace is prescribed (a brace comparable to the correction of a plaster cast but that guarantees greater freedom of movement).
– Improve physical appearance
– Better lung and breathing function
– Increase physical mobility and flexibility
– Balance and strengthen the affected muscles
– Enhance self-confidence and self-esteem
– Possible of curve correction and prevent worsening
Scoliosis Bracing 3D-Scanning & Review
With the latest 3D CAD software, we are able to truly customize each brace to the individual patient. This design takes into consideration not only the specific curve type, but also the magnitude and rigidity of each curve.
