Correction of scoliosis

The X-ray showed moderate thoracic-lumbar scoliosis with a deviation angle of 45 ° in the thoracic part and 35 ° in the lumbar part of the spine. Muscular measurements with scoliometer determined muscular imbalance of 11 ° in the thoracic part  and 5 ° in the lumbar part. In the lateral plane, patient was also diagnosed with loss of cervical lordosis, loss of thoracic kyphosis, scapular imbalance and pelvic imbalance.

The patient was diagnosed with scoliosis at the age of 10 where the deviation angle was about 25 ° at the top and about 17 ° at the bottom. Due to the neglect of treatment and immediate growth in puberty, the deviation has advanced.

The treatment protocol included three 60-minute sessions per week with a day off between sessions. During the session, manual therapy for muscle release and stretching was combined with exercise therapy which was specific to the patient’s following Schroth guidelines about scoliosis treatment with lengthening exercises for contracted and shortened muscles and strengthening exercises for elongated muscles. The protocol also included postural correction exercises along with breathing exercises.
