Is your scoliosis causing back pain? Let’s fix that!
Scoliosis is a condition that affects people of all ages from young children to the elderly. The symptoms range from:
-back pain
-numbness & pain down the legs
-neck & back stiffness
-movement compensations which lead to injuries in the shoulders, knees & hips.
Unfortunately, those who suffer with scoliosis have very few options available to treat their aches & pains BUT we want to change that!
Let’s break down our approach.
#1 Restore proper function to the weak muscles.
With scoliosis & structural changes certain muscles tend to become overactive & tight while others become weak & inhibited. This leads to dysfunctional movement & of course pain. Therefore, during our initial stages of treatment we focus on restoring proper function to the muscles that are weak in order to improve movement. Better movement = Less pain!
#2 Manual therapy.
An example of a type of manual therapy is deep tissue massage performed on the tight muscles that tug the spine more towards one side which cause scoliosis & pain. It is a necessary step that many clinicians overlook. By combining steps 1 + 2 we are able to balance the spine & reduce the tug of war between the left & right side.
#3 Rehabilitation exercises.
With any condition we treat at Boules Acupuncture Clinic, we give our patients homework to do in order to get faster clinical results that are long lasting. In cases that involve scoliosis, we recommend simple yet extremely effective exercises that will help balance the spine & improve movement. As mentioned above, Better movement = Less pain!
Our integrative approach has helped hundreds of patients in New York reduce the negative effects of scoliosis and we are excited to offer it now at our new home, Cyprus!
