Reduction of a Severe Scoliosis Using ScoliBrace\u00ae and ScoliBalance\u00ae in a 14-year-old Male<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This 14-year-old male athlete, actively involved in Australian Rules Football (AFL) and competing nationally in athletics, was diagnosed with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) at age 13 by a Physical Therapist. At the time, his curve measured 39\u00b0. Although he did not experience any pain, he was aware of the asymmetrical shape of his torso. Within a year, the curve had progressed to 49\u00b0.Concerned about the progression, he presented to the ScoliCare clinic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was prescribed full-time ScoliBrace\u00ae wear (up to 23 hours\/day), a daily ScoliBalance\u00ae program of scoliosis-specific exercises, and home traction with a ScoliRoll\u00ae device. Sport-specific modifications were included to maintain motivation and support his athletic schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"\"\n\n\n\n

Results<\/strong><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In-Brace Correction and Early Progress:<\/strong> After one year of treatment, X-rays showed a reduction in his curve from 49\u00b0 to 37\u00b0, with significant improvement in posture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sustained Reduction:<\/strong> After 21 months of full-time bracing, the patient had reached Risser 5, indicating skeletal maturity. His curve had reduced to 31\u00b0 (a 37% reduction), and brace wear was then gradually tapered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Long-Term Stability: <\/strong>At 2 years and 10 months, the patient remained stable at 31\u00b0. He now continues with ScoliBalance\u00ae exercises 2\u20133 times per week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improved Posture and Function: <\/strong>The patient reports improved torso symmetry and remains pain-free. He also maintains a high level of general physical and sport activity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
NB: Results vary from case to case. Our commitment is to recommend the most appropriate treatment based on the patients type and severity of scoliosis.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1895,"parent":0,"template":"","categories":[187],"class_list":["post-596","case_studies","type-case_studies","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-global"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nCase
