Scoliosis

Scoliosis is a relatively common yet complex condition that involves an abnormal sideways curvature of the spine. While it can vary in severity, scoliosis can cause a range of symptoms, including postural changes, discomfort, and, in some cases, reduced lung and heart function. It can be classified into different types, including congenital (present at birth), idiopathic (unknown cause), and acquired (developed due to other factors).

Physical Therapy for Scoliosis 

Physical therapy can be a valuable component of managing and treating scoliosis. At Maximum Solutions, our physical therapists create personalized treatment plans based on the individual’s condition, age, and degree of spinal curvature. These plans may include exercises, manual therapy, and posture training. 

While it may not cure scoliosis, physical therapy can help individuals with scoliosis through:

• Pain Management
• Improving Posture
• Strengthening Muscles
• Enhancing Mobility
• Patient Education
• Preventing Progression

It’s important to note that the effectiveness of physical therapy for scoliosis varies depending on factors such as the degree of curvature, age of the individual, and individual response to treatment. Physical therapy is typically recommended as part of a multidisciplinary approach to scoliosis management, including observation, bracing, or surgical intervention when necessary.
