Non-surgical scoliosis solution

RECENT studies have found an increase of scoliosis cases among younger children. Scoliosis, a condition where the spine is bent abnormally either to the right or left affects 25% of the population in Asia compared to only 15% of the Western population.

Besides causing significant physical burden, scoliosis also inflicts emotional stress in equal measure as the condition progresses well beyond skeletal maturity and generally persists for the remainder of a patient’s life. A majority of scoliosis cases are idiopathic, which means its cause is unidentifiable.

The physical complications of idiopathic scoliosis can be quite serious ranging from spinal and limb pain to organ stress and loss of function and even heartlung distress. Additionally, the average life expectancy of individuals with scoliosis is decreased by 14 years. Some of the other complications of the condition include headaches, chronic fatigue, digestive problems including constipation and diarrhoea, joint pain, sleeping difficulty, loss of concentration as well as chronic muscle tightness and spasms. The emotional effects of idiopathic scoliosis can be every bit as real and serious as the physical effects. Juvenile patients with idiopathic scoliosis report that they are generally unhappier with their lives. They have more physical complaints, lower self esteem and higher depression. Adult patients, on the other hand, complain more of psychological and physical impairment. every other treatment option has been thoroughly exhausted.

Spinal Inc is dedicated specifically to the non-surgical treatment and correction of idiopathic scoliosis in patients of all ages. It is certified in the schroth method.

Schroth method was founded in the 1920’s by Katharina Schroth who developed it based on her personal experience with scoliosis as a teenager. First she started sharing her techniques with patients and eventually set up her own clinic in Germany. Her daughter Christa Lehnert-Schroth helped further develop the theory underlying the schroth method. Today, over 1,000 patients are being treated annually at the Asklepios Katharina-Schroth Klinik, an orthopaedic rehabilitation centre specialised in the treatment of scoliosis and other spinal deformities in Germany. Conservative treatment for scoliosis and other spinal deformities are well accepted in Europe.

Treatment at Spinal Inc includes physiotherapy based on schroth, accompanied with an exercise programme, which is customised for each patient’s specific needs. Idiopathic scoliosis is a disease involving much more than just the spine and their treatment methods reflect this complexity. Spinal Inc encourages you to learn more about how their approach goes far beyond typical conservative idiopathic scoliosis care and why they believe they can demonstrate a measurable reduction in the severity of idiopathic scoliosis on an x-ray in as quickly as six months.
