What is Scoliosis?

• Scoliosis is a three-dimensional spinal deformity characterized by a side-to-side curvature combined with rotation of the vertebra.
• It is the most common spinal disorder in children and adolescents affecting 2-5% of the population.
• Adult scoliosis can become debilitating and painful due to degenerative changes of an aging spine.

What can you do for scoliosis?

Scoliosis-specific exercise like the Schroth Method can make a difference.
Unlike generic exercise, Schroth features:

• a 3D exercise approach for a three-dimensional deformity
• a highly customized program based upon an individual’s curve pattern
• postural and breathing maneuvers aimed to realign, de-rotate and stabilize the spine.
• enhance bracing and may reduce the need for surgery.
• a non-operative treatment for older adults who can’t or don’t wish to have surgery.
