Were you recently told by your doctor that you were supposed to do nothing with your scoliosis until it worsens to the point that surgery is needed?

Isn’t there a better option?

The answer is yes, decisively yes!

Ashley Argota plays Lulu on Nickelodeon’s “True Jackson VP” is a patient. She discusses her success with her scoliosis using the SpineCor brace and our Schroth Method scoliosis exercises. Listen to what she said:

Other patient’s have had similar results they shared with us on our YouTube Channel – Scoldoc.

With scoliosis the patterns of movement of your body largely determine if the curvature of the spine will gradually worsen. Scoliosis is a rotation dysfunction of the body and if this pattern is allowed to stay maintained there is a great chance that the curvatures will progress because they become further ingrained in the nervous system with your continued abnormal movement patterns and results in imbalanced muscles in the body on one side to become taut and shortened while muscles on the other side becoming overly lengthened and inept.

Also, these muscular imbalances cause the connective tissues surrounding them to adaptively shortening or lengthening which further adding to the dysfunctional movement patterns. This vicious cycle must be broken with appropriate corrective movements if there is a hope of ceasing further dysfunction.

These patterns are different to each individual, so there is no non “one size fits all” scoliosis treatment. They must be individually addressed and countered in order to stop or reverse the development of the curves.

Non-Surgical Treatments for Scoliosis

Early intervention is the key to stopping the progression or even reversing the scoliosis curvatures.
Although there are many different types of physical therapy and exercise programs for scoliosis most of them have a limited 2-dimensional approach of the spine. They fail to address the unseen rotational element present in scoliosis and because of this they are doomed to failure. A 3-dimensional treatment method is needed to achieve correction with scoliosis.

Schroth Method is a scientifically tested, scoliosis specific exercise program designed to help patients successfully manage their curvatures to avoid the need for scoliosis surgery or rigid bracing.

Originally developed by Katharina Schroth at the Schroth Institute in Germany as an intensive, therapist guided 3-dimensional treatment to diminish the rotation dysfunction of the spine by remodeling the ribcage and reduce the deformity of the scoliosis.
It takes a specially trained therapist to properly teach a patient to re-establishing normal locomotion patterns in the body to affect a positive change in the curvature. Our doctors are Schroth Certified Instructors and trough static and dynamic postural reeducation they are able to help you incite the body’s reflex systems through a properly applied exercise program is usually able to stop the progression or even reverse the curvatures in scoliosis.

To assist with this postural re-patterning of the body we also utilize a dynamic tension brace to help with correction while a patient is going through their activities of normal daily living.

Spine Cor – The Amazing “un-Brace” for Scoliosis is unlike traditional rigid scoliosis braces that act like body casts by statically holding the body in one position. When any part of the body is casted for an extended period of time, after the cast is removed there is usually some atrophy of the surrounding musculature. The same thing occurs with the spine. After a static brace has been removed there is often a worsening of the spine because the weakened muscles on the inside of the curvature are made even weaker by the immobility of the brace. Once removed, these weakened muscles do not function properly, causing further collapse of the curvatures.

With the Spine Cor brace there is no muscle atrophy or side effects because it uses serves to strengthen the weakened muscles of the spine through corrective movement patterning while it’s being worn. That’s almost the equivalent of doing therapeutic exercises for 20 hours a day.

The Spine Cor brace is a dynamic tension brace that requires a solid understanding of biomechanics, neurology and biophysics, because of this, the doctor who fits the brace should have a great deal of experience in art of fitting the brace appropriately.
Our doctors are the most experienced Spine Cor providers in the country and have helped thousands of scoliosis patients.

Also, because the Spine Cor brace is easily hidden under the cloths, and allows for total freedom of movement, unlike static braces, the compliance with wear the brace among teenagers is far greater. This makes the post brace outcomes with the Spine Cor brace extremely enduring. The Spine Cor brace can be used for treatment of both adolescent and adult scoliosis.
The foundation of any non-surgical scoliosis treatment approach should be the active restoration of the normal functional movement of the spine so utilization of a dynamic corrective brace, like Spine Cor should be part of any scoliosis rehabilitation program.

Summary

Most People agree that the definition of insanity is “doing the same thing over and over again and expecting to get a different result”. Doing nothing up to this point has resulted in the scoliosis progressing so isn’t it is insane to think that continuing to do nothing will stop the progression of your scoliosis?

Having the knowledge that scoliosis caught in it’s earlier stages is more easily treated should stir you into taking corrective action now, before it gets worse. Don’t just sit around and watch and wait for the scoliosis to get worse, find out if non-surgical scoliosis treatment may be right for you.
