If you are looking for treatment for your scoliosis, look no further than Max Physiotherapy! Our dedicated team of professionals is committed to helping patients suffering from scoliosis reduce their pain, discomfort, and progression associated with this condition.
Scoliosis is a curve or bend in the spine. Where a healthy spine would be completely vertical, it causes an abnormal sideways curve of the spine. The causes range from inequality in leg length, to muscle imbalances, to more complicated conditions like muscular dystrophy and cerebral palsy. The largest category of scoliosis is termed idiopathic, which means that the exact cause is unknown.
The main goal of treatment is to maximize function and mobility of the body. The abnormal curves of the spine associated with scoliosis can put stress on weight-bearing joints, which can cause pain throughout the body (not just the spine). In very severe cases, the curve in the spine can put pressure on the lungs, causing breathing problems. A collaborative approach to treatment can significantly reduce any discomfort and progression of mild cases. In cases that are more advanced, treatment may include bracing or surgery.
