Scoliosis case study ppt

The scoliosis treatment in this study focuses on the reduction of scoliosis by manipulative and rehabilitative methods not commonly used by most chiropractors. The major difference in this scoliosis treatment compared to others is that stimulation of the involuntary postural reflexes is utilized in the clinic setting as well as in home care.

The purpose of the present study is to investigate any possible benefits from combining manipulative and rehabilitative techniques from a randomized sample collected from various chiropractic facilities. Preliminary evidence [12] suggests that these procedures may be beneficial for reducing the curvatures associated with scoliosis.

Description When viewed on an x-ray from the front or rear, a normal spine appears to be straight but a spine affected by scoliosis appears to have an S- or C-shaped curve. 4. Symptoms Children with mild cases of scoliosis may not exhibit any symptoms. Moderate to severe scoliosis may cause parts of the torso and/or pelvic area to become uneven.

Scoliosis Presentation Idiopathic scoliosis is a condition that causes the spine to curve to the side. While the cause of scoliosis is unknown, it usually runs in families and typically affects girls and young women more often and severely than boys and young men. Mild cases that do not cause pain or discomfort require no treatment.
