Understanding the Condition?
Scoliosis is not just a simple curve of the spine—it’s a structural deformity that can impact posture, mobility, lung function, and overall quality of life. The severity and progression of scoliosis depend on the underlying cause, age of onset, and growth patterns.
Types of Scoliosis:
1. Idiopathic Scoliosis
- Infantile (0–3 years) and Juvenile (4–10 years): Early-onset scoliosis can significantly affect lung development. Regular monitoring is essential using Cobb angle and rib-vertebral angle difference (RVAD).
- Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS): The most common form, AIS typically emerges during the adolescent growth spurt. Curve progression is influenced by initial curve magnitude and growth velocity.
- Congenital Scoliosis: Present at birth, caused by vertebral malformations. Severity ranges from minor deformities to life-threatening spinal cord compressions.
2. Neuromuscular Scoliosis
Caused by underlying neuromuscular conditions such as Cerebral Palsy, Spina Bifida, Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, or Spinal Muscular Atrophy. These patients often present with poor trunk control, progressive spinal collapse, and respiratory complications.
3. Syndromic Scoliosis
Associated with genetic or developmental syndromes like Marfan Syndrome, Neurofibromatosis, Rett Syndrome, and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. This type of scoliosis often accompanies systemic symptoms and requires a multidisciplinary care approach.
Common Issues in Scoliosis
- Postural imbalance and spinal asymmetry
- Limited flexibility and mobility
- Pain and fatigue from muscle imbalance
- Respiratory issues, especially with thoracic curves >80°
- Psychological effects due to body image concerns
- Neurological complications in severe or congenital cases
- Progressive worsening during growth spurts
Our Approach to Scoliosis Treatment
Our clinic follows a holistic, patient-centric model that emphasizes early detection, individualized care plans, and ongoing monitoring. We combine diagnostic precision with cutting-edge therapeutic strategies to effectively manage scoliosis and improve quality of life.
Assessment & Diagnosis:
- Physical Examination: Includes height measurement, gait analysis, spinal inspection, pubertal assessment, and full neurological evaluation.
- Imaging Studies: Standing PA and lateral spine radiographs, evaluating parameters such as Cobb angle, kyphosis, lordosis, pelvic tilt, and more.
- Functional Testing: Gait assessments, forward bending tests, and use of tools like a scoliometer to measure curve severity.
Synchrony Techniques Used to Treat Scoliosis
We employ evidence-based physiotherapy methods tailored to the individual’s curve type, severity, and lifestyle. These include:
- Fascia Dynamics: Hands-on realignment of fascia, muscle, nerve, and skeletal components to help improve spinal curves and make your exercise program more effective.
- Schroth Method: A highly effective scoliosis-specific exercise program that focuses on postural awareness, rotational breathing, and muscle strengthening.
- SEAS (Scientific Exercise Approach to Scoliosis): Active self-correction strategies to maintain spinal alignment during daily activities.
- Core Stabilization Training: Improves spinal support and reduces postural fatigue.
- Postural Re-education: Teaches patients to maintain correct alignment in various positions.
- Breathing Exercises: Especially important for patients with thoracic curves affecting lung function.
- Custom Bracing Guidance: Coordinated with orthotists when bracing is indicated.
Preventive Care and Education
At our centre, prevention and patient education are core pillars of scoliosis care. Our program includes:
- Early screening and curve detection programs
- Growth monitoring in children at risk
- Parental guidance and counselling
- Ergonomic education for school and home environments
- Lifestyle modifications to reduce curve progression
- Periodic follow-ups to detect early signs of deterioration
