Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine seen when looking from the front. In most cases the cause is unknown and it is noticed between the ages of 10 and 15, during rapid growth. Fzt. Aydın Ali carries out postural and spinal assessment and runs the process alongside your orthopaedic doctor.
The risk of a curve progressing is directly linked to how much growth remains. A curve detected during a growth spurt needs closer monitoring; after growth is complete the rate of progression falls markedly.
This is why noticing it early changes the path that is followed.
Scoliosis-specific exercise differs from general sport or swimming: it is planned according to the direction of the curve and includes three-dimensional correction and breathing work.
Decisions about bracing or surgery belong to the orthopaedic doctor. Physiotherapy runs alongside that follow-up, not instead of it.
No. A heavy bag can cause back pain but does not create structural scoliosis. The same is true of sitting posture.
In low-degree curves, exercise and monitoring are often enough. In moderate curves it is combined with bracing, decided by your doctor.
It depends on the degree of curve and remaining growth. The interval is set after the first assessment.
