Scoliosis is a progressive condition where the spine is misaligned, affecting its structure and proper functioning. It is not a curable condition, but the appropriate treatment can slow down the progression and allow the patient to live a less limited life.
In children and adolescents, scoliosis is rapidly worsening because of the child's growth. In adults, the progression is determined by gravity through a slower process.
Physicians look at the Cobb Angle in the scoliosis curve to determine its severity. The four main categories of scoliosis are:
Mild (less than 25 degrees)
Moderate (Between 25 and 45 degrees)
Severe (Over 45 degrees)
Very Severe (Over 80 degrees)
Idiopathic scoliosis is a type of scoliosis where the cause is unknown. Children with scoliosis add up to 90% of idiopathic scoliosis cases.
The proper scoliosis treatment plan can still be useful even if the cause of the condition is unknown. In many cases, years can pass since the patient is first diagnosed, and the cause of their curve becomes irrelevant to the treatment approach.
The traditional approach to treating scoliosis fails at addressing the curve right after diagnosis. The patient is often advised to watch and wait until the curve is bad enough to justify invasive surgery. This operation consists of a spinal fusion where it is realigned, and the curved vertebrae are fused together.
Taking a proactive approach to scoliosis can be beneficial in reducing its severity. Current technologies and research have moved away from the traditional method; this has allowed our patients to receive the proper care that they need.
At Scoliosis Reduction Center, our patients are carefully evaluated to develop a personalized program to address the spine's structure. These programs include but are not limited to in-office therapy, scoliosis chiropractic care, corrective bracing, and rehabilitation.
