Scoliosis is a medical condition characterized by an abnormal curvature of the spine, often in the shape of an "S" or "C". This curvature can occur in any part of the spine (cervical, thoracic, lumbar) and can be caused by a variety of factors, including congenital abnormalities, muscle imbalances, injuries or underlying medical conditions. Scoliosis can cause back pain, stiffness, postural asymmetry and, in severe cases, visible deformity of the spine. It is important to diagnose and treat scoliosis early to prevent further progression of the curvature and to limit long-term complications.
Scoliosis is a progressive lateral deviation of the spine.
The spine should be straight from the front and curved in profile.
Scoliosis is diagnosed by measuring the Cobb angle of scoliosis, when an angle greater than 10 degrees or more combined with rotation of the vertebrae is measured.
Scoliosis can affect people of all ages. It's important to be vigilant between the ages of 10 and 16, because scoliosis can develop rapidly during the growth period.
There is also a growing number of adults with scoliosis. This may be scoliosis that went undetected when they were younger, or degenerative scoliosis (De Novo Scoliosis) that has developed with age.
Scoliosis is often idiopathic (with no clear cause), or linked to a family history, or degenerative with age. More rarely, scoliosis can have a pathological origin.
What are the warning signs of scoliosis?
If scoliosis is detected and treated early, patients can avoid these symptoms in many cases. In addition, conservative treatment approaches such as personalized scoliosis strengthening and scoliosis-specific exercise rehabilitation are available in many cases, as evidence-based treatment options for a wide variety of patients. If left untreated, scoliosis sometimes requires surgery.
In all cases, early detection of scoliosis is important and any changes or visual indications should always be evaluated. If you have noticed a change, contact us for an assessment.
CBP is supported by numerous studies published in scientific journals. Research shows that this method can significantly improve abnormal spinal curvatures and thus reduce associated symptoms such as pain, headaches and musculoskeletal disorders.
What is Scolicare?
ScoliCare specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of scoliosis and other spinal deformities. They offer a full range of services, including detailed clinical assessments, the design and manufacture of customized orthopedic corsets, and postural rehabilitation programs. ScoliCare uses advanced technologies and evidence-based methods to provide effective, individualized solutions aimed at improving the quality of life of patients with scoliosis and other spinal conditions.
The technique relies on detailed clinical assessments and the use of advanced technologies to design customized orthopedic corsets. These corsets are tailor-made for each patient, taking into account their specific spinal curvature and individual needs. ScoliCare also offers postural re-education programs to strengthen supporting muscles and improve vertebral alignment. ScoliCare care is designed for anyone suffering from scoliosis,hypercyphosisor other spinal deformities, whether they arechildren,adolescents oradults. Using an evidence-based approach and cutting-edge technologies, ScoliCare aims to improve patients' quality of life and prevent these conditions from worsening.
