About Scoliosis

• 2-4% of children will develop some form of scoliosis
• Research shows that up to 40% of adults aged 50-80 with lower back pain have a scoliosis
• The best results for scoliosis treatment occur when it is detected early and treated correctly
• Scoliosis is a progressive, sideways curvature of the spine.

The most commonly found type of scoliosis is called “adolescent idiopathic scoliosis”. Idiopathic means “of unknown origin”. But recent research into the cause of scoliosis seems to suggest that there is often a genetic factor which affects the control of the growth of the spine.

Scoliosis can affect children and adults. In children it can be a more serious condition because it can rapidly progress as the child grows.

Scoliosis is commonly first seen in children between the ages of 10 and 15. However, it can occur in younger children aged 3 to 10 years (juvenile scoliosis) and in babies (infantile scoliosis). Scoliosis can also occur in adults with no previous history, due to spinal degeneration and advancing age. This is called (De Novo scoliosis).

The effects of scoliosis include: poor posture, shoulder humping, muscle weakness, and pain. In rare cases scoliosis can lead to heart and lung problems.

If scoliosis is detected and treated early, patients can avoid these symptoms in many cases. If left untreated, scoliosis can progress and sometimes may require surgery.

Scientific Exercises Approach to Scoliosis

How does SEAS work?

This approach is very specific and not all non-surgical spinal treatments help scoliosis.

For example in a small adolescent idiopathic curve i.e. less than 20 degrees where there is a family history of scoliosis, a scoliosis specific exercise program may be the most suitable initial treatment. Another example can be when a curve is non progressive i.e. in late adolescents or middle age. With scoliosis specific exercise alone it maybe be possible to help improve posture, manage pain and stabilise the spine.

In cases of a progressive idiopathic scoliosis where the curve is greater than 20 degrees, scoliosis specific exercise  is usually used in conjunction with brace treatments.

Research has shown that when scoliosis specific exercise has been used in conjunction with bracing it has improved the results of hard bracing. In this case the exercise helps to strengthen the muscles being weakened by the brace and keep the spine flexible. When physical therapy is not used with hard bracing any correction achieved during the time of bracing is usually lost within 24 months of finishing brace treatment.

It is important to understand that only specialized exercise and rehabilitation programs specifically designed to treat scoliosis have been shown to make improvements.

Scolibrace 3D Bracing:

• Scolibrace
• Kyphobrace
• Scolinight

Scoliosis is a 3 Dimensional condition, so effective treatments need to be 3 dimensional too. Bracescan combines 3D full-body laser scanning technology, x-rays and posture photographs. Each brace is custom designed for the individual with Computer Aided design (CAD) and then created with Computer Aided Manufacture (CAM)
