Reduction of a Large Thoracic Scoliosis in a Ballet Dancer with
ScoliBrace\u00ae and ScoliBalance\u00ae<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At 17 years old, a young ballerina presented with a 44\u00b0 thoracic Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis, postural asymmetry, and daily back pain (VAS 7\u20138\/10). She was Risser 5, indicating she was skeletally mature. Hoping to avoid surgery and protect her flexibility for a future dance career, she pursued a non-surgical approach to treating her scoliosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She was prescribed a part-time ScoliBrace\u00ae (6\u20138 hrs\/day) combined with the ScoliBalance\u00ae rehabilitation program performed twice daily at home. The goal was to improve posture, reduce pain,and prevent progression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"\"\n\n\n\n

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

Curve Reduction:<\/strong> After 12 months, her thoracic scoliosis reduced from 44\u00b0 to 29\u00b0 (Cobb), a 15\u00b0 (34%) reduction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pain Relief:<\/strong> Pain levels dropped from daily moderate-severe to only occasional mild discomfort (VAS 2\u20133\/10).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improved Posture & Function:<\/strong> Cosmetic asymmetry, rib humping, and scapular imbalance improved. She was also accepted into a prestigious overseas ballet program.<\/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 patient\u2019s individual case.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":33595,"parent":0,"template":"","categories":[133,125,126],"class_list":["post-44496","case_studies","type-case_studies","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-australia-only","category-patients","category-professionals"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nCase - Adolescent Bracing (17 year old female) – ScoliCare Naples Florida<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Treatment of scoliosis using the ScoliBalance\u00ae Program in an Adult Female Patient.
