Can Physical Therapy Fix Scoliosis? (Concierge Pain Relief - Home Physical Therapy

Can Physical Therapy Fix Scoliosis? (Concierge Pain Relief - Home Physical Therapy

Picture

Scoliosis is a condition that affects the spine, causing it to curve sideways.

The degree of curvature can vary, and in some cases, scoliosis can cause significant pain and discomfort. While there is no cure for scoliosis, physical therapy can be an effective way to manage the symptoms and improve the patient's quality of life.

Research has shown that physical therapy can be an effective way to treat scoliosis. A 2018 systematic review and meta-analysis of 10 studies found that physical therapy was effective in reducing pain, improving function, and decreasing the degree of spinal curvature in patients with scoliosis (1). The review also found that the benefits of physical therapy were more significant when treatment was started at an earlier stage of the condition.

There are several types of physical therapy that can be used to treat scoliosis, including:

The Schroth Method:
One of the approaches we use is the Schroth Method, which is a specific type of exercise therapy designed to treat scoliosis. The Schroth Method focuses on exercises that help improve the patient's posture and breathing, as well as strengthening the muscles surrounding the spine. Research has shown that the Schroth Method can be an effective way to manage scoliosis (2). In addition to the Schroth Method, we also use manual therapy techniques to manipulate the spine and improve its alignment.

Mobility & Exercise therapy:
No, not personal training. This type of formal physical therapy for scoliosis focuses on exercises that strengthen the muscles surrounding the spine. These exercises can help improve posture, reduce pain, and decrease the degree of spinal curvature.

Hands-On Manual Therapy:
This involves hands-on techniques that are used to manipulate the spine and improve its alignment. Manual therapy can help reduce pain and improve function in patients with scoliosis.

Electrical Stimulation such as The StimPod:
No, not just the average TENS unit. This involves the use of electrical currents to stimulate the muscles surrounding the spine. Electrical stimulation can help improve muscle strength and reduce pain in patients with scoliosis. We may also use electrical stimulation to help improve muscle strength and reduce pain.

At Concierge Pain Relief - Home Physical Therapy, we use the most modern and up-to-date treatment approaches for scoliosis.

Our physical therapists are trained in the latest techniques and have experience working with patients with scoliosis.

At Concierge Pain Relief - Home Physical Therapy, we believe in a patient-centered approach to care. We work closely with each patient to develop a personalized treatment plan that takes into account their specific needs and goals.

Our goal is to help each patient manage their scoliosis and improve their quality of life. If you or a loved one is living with scoliosis, physical therapy can be an effective way to manage the condition.
