3D Scoliosis Treatment
3D scoliosis treatment combines specialized exercises, manual therapy, and patient education to control and improve spinal curvatures.
Scoliosis is a three-dimensional spinal deformity that includes lateral curvature, rotation, and sagittal plane changes. Modern scoliosis treatment requires understanding and correcting this three-dimensional nature. Physiotherapy-based conservative treatment aims to stop the curve's progression, improve posture, and enhance quality of life.
What is Scoliosis?
Scoliosis is a lateral curvature of the spine greater than 10 degrees. However, it is more than just a lateral deviation; it is a three-dimensional deformity involving rotation and vertebral shape changes. Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is most common, and its cause is unknown. Scoliosis can also be seen in congenital, neuromuscular, and degenerative types.
Schroth Method
The Schroth Method, developed by Katharina Schroth in Germany, is one of the most effective conservative scoliosis treatment approaches. This method aims to correct spinal deformity through specific breathing techniques, postural correction, and three-dimensional exercises.
- •Specific exercises tailored to curve pattern
- •Rotational breathing technique (corrective breathing)
- •Mirror correction and posture awareness
- •Activities of daily living training
- •Use of specific equipment (wall bars, therapy ball, etc.)
SEAS Approach
SEAS (Scientific Exercises Approach to Scoliosis) is an evidence-based scoliosis exercise approach developed in Italy. Active self-correction, functional exercises, and integration of exercises into daily life form the basis of the method. SEAS provides individualized exercise programs.
When is Scoliosis Treatment Applied?
- Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis
- Adult scoliosis
- Mild to moderate curves (10-45 degrees)
- Bracing support
- Pre and post-surgical rehabilitation
- Postural kyphosis
- Scheuermann's disease
- Scoliosis-related pain
Treatment Process
Comprehensive Assessment
Radiological findings, curve type, Cobb angle, Risser sign, and growth potential are evaluated.
Personalized Program
A specific exercise program is created according to the scoliosis type.
Exercise Training
Exercises are taught through supervised sessions and corrected.
Home Program and Follow-up
The patient is taught the home exercise program and progress is monitored with regular checks.
Benefits
- Preventing curve progression
- Pain reduction
- Improved posture
- Increased respiratory capacity
- Better quality of life
- Enhanced body awareness
