Schroth Method for Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis
Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) can be extremely overwhelming. When it comes to treating AIS, finding a specialized provider is crucial. At Scoliosis PT Jax, we are dedicated to offering the highest quality care through a unique blend of the Schroth Method, Pilates and Myofascial release.
Understanding Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS)
Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) is a curvature of the spine that begins and progresses during the critical growth years, affecting 2-3% of adolescents, predominantly girls. “Idiopathic” means that the exact cause of the condition is unknown. However, studies suggest that the spine curvature might be linked to hormonal imbalances, abnormal bone or muscle growth, or nervous system anomalies. This can result in visible posture changes like uneven shoulders and hips, and in extreme cases, it can impact lung and other organ function.
Schroth Method for Spine with Scoliosis
The treatment options for AIS can be overwhelming and a little frightening. As a parent, I understand the desire to make the best decision for your child. The choices often seem daunting:
- Wait and See: You run the risk of the curve progressing without any type of intervention
- Wear a Brace: Commit to 18-23 hours a day.
- Surgery: Consider an invasive and permanent solution.
This can leave parents frustrated and adolescents feeling powerless. But there’s a fourth option that offers hope and control: Exercise including the Schroth Method & Pilates for scoliosis.
The Schroth Method is a conservative physical therapy treatment designed specifically for scoliosis. It empowers individuals by providing targeted exercises that can be done at almost any stage of scoliosis. These exercises help manage scoliosis pain areas and improve the alignment of the spine. They can be used alongside bracing or be beneficial before and after surgery. With the Schroth Method, your child can take an active role in their treatment and feel more in control of their scoliosis management.
