18 Year Old Male Severe Scoliosis
Patient Profile
The Challenge
At 18 years of age and based on the Risser score he has reached skeletal maturation. He has a significant truncal shift and marked rotation. He has a severe C-curve scoliosis.
The Solution: Total Scoliosis Solution (TSS) Program
He enrolled in our TSS Program, where we designed a personalized treatment plan focused on:
Postural realignment to the center of the gravity line to increase stability and minimize risk factors of scoliosis progression
Curve reduction and stabilization
Targeted exercises to improve muscle balance and to help reduce pain
Scoliosis-specific exercises and home rehab program to continue to work on his scoliosis for life independently
The Results
After the completion of his initial program, there was a marked improvement in his alignment and muscle balance. Follow-up x-rays showed a 29% reduction which the specialist attributed to ‘spontaneous and coincidence’. He did not require surgery post treatment.
