No Options at 15 Years of Age

Patient Profile

Age: 15
Condition:  Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis
Symptoms:  Severe scoliosis and onset of pain
Goal:  Scoliosis correction and stabilization and pain reduction

The Challenge

At 15 years of age and classified as skeletally mature, she was offered only one year monitoring at the local hospital.  Understanding that she was finished growing, and not having any other options, she started the TSS Program at our Scolidocs Clinic.  


The Solution: Total Scoliosis Solution (TSS) Program

She enrolled in our TSS Program, where we designed a personalized treatment plan focused on:

Scoliosis reduction and stabilization.

Scoliosis-specific exercise program that concentrates on curve reduction and stabilization

Soft tissue remodeling and targeted muscle activation

Home scoliosis-specific program to build confidence in self-management of scoliosis for life


The Results

After the completion of the TSS Program and maintenance care, her symptoms have improved and follow up x-rays three years later showed a curve reduction of 40%.  Her alignment and balance has also improved, decreasing the risk of progression by minimizing asymmetrical spinal loading.  By reducing the uneven pressure on her spine, discs, and joints, her pain has also improved.  She is also confident in self -managing her scoliosis going forward.
