Scoliosis, characterized by a lateral "S" or "C" shaped curvature of the spine, is not just an aesthetic posture deformity but also a serious health problem. Usually becoming evident during childhood and adolescence, this condition can lead to restricted movement and severe pain if not intervened on time. However, thanks to modern physiotherapy techniques, it is now possible to stop the progression of scoliosis.
What is Scoliosis?
Scoliosis is an abnormal lateral curvature of the spine. Genetic factors, muscle diseases, or incorrect posture habits can cause this condition. In scoliosis cases diagnosed early, a success rate of up to 90% can be achieved with the "Schroth Method" and personalized exercises without the need for surgery.
What Are the Symptoms of Scoliosis?
Scoliosis can progress insidiously, so it is very important to track the asymmetry in your body:
- Shoulder Asymmetry: One shoulder standing higher than the other.
- Pelvic Imbalance: One hip appearing higher than the other.
- Scapular Prominence: One shoulder blade being more prominent when viewed from behind.
- Waistline Distortion: Unequal waist folds on both sides.
Modern Scoliosis Treatment Methods
The treatment plan is determined according to the degree of curvature (Cobb angle) and the patient's stage of bone development:
- Schroth Method: A specific physiotherapy method considered the gold standard for scoliosis, aiming for three-dimensional correction of the spine.
- Chiropractic Applications: Reduces pain by addressing alignment problems in the spine with manual techniques.
- Personalized Bracing: Used in cases where the curvature is between 20-40 degrees to support bone development in the correct direction.
- Clinical Exercise Programs: Strengthens weakened muscles, allowing the spine to stand straighter.
