Cervicothoracic Scoliosis
Patient Profile
The Challenge
This is a very challenging case as there is a severe cervicothoracic curve that is 50 degrees which is extremely challenging to stabilize. She has an S-curve scoliosis with a cervicothoracic curve and a thoracolumbar curve. She falls within the surgical threshold.
The Solution: Total Scoliosis Solution (TSS) Program
She enrolled in our TSS Program, where we designed a personalized treatment plan focused on:
Scoliosis correction and stabilization
Scoliosis-specific exercises and home rehab program
Targeted exercises and strategies to minimize the risk factors of scoliosis progression
Follow up care and management of her scoliosis until she reaches full skeletal maturation
The Results
The patient responded very well to the treatment and there was a net curve reduction of 44%. She has also fallen below the threshold of scoliosis surgery. With her home rehab program and compliance, she should be able to self-manage her scoliosis for life.
