Resolution of Juvenile Idiopathic Scoliosis Using ScoliBrace\u00ae and ScoliBalance\u00ae<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The patient presented to the clinic at age 11 for assessment of an idiopathic scoliosis that had been diagnosed by a paediatrician five years earlier. He was an active young male involved in judo and Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and had been experiencing occasional lower back pain. At the time of presentation, he had a 30\u00b0 left lumbar and 15\u00b0 right thoracic curve. Clinical tests for leg-length inequality (LLI) also indicated a short left-leg (approximately 20mm) relative to the right leg. X-ray evaluation confirmed that a 28 mm lift was required to level the pelvis. He was skeletally immature (Risser 0) and had a positive family history of scoliosis.<\/p>\n

The patient was prescribed part-time ScoliBrace\u00ae wear (up to 16 hours\/day), a daily ScoliBalance\u00ae program of scoliosis-specific exercises, and home traction with a ScoliRoll\u00ae device. He was also recommended to wear a shoe lift (20mm) and a heel lift (8mm) to address the leg length discrepancy. The patient was also provided with an ischial lift to use whenever seated to counter the effects of the sacral\/pelvic obliquity on the patient\u2019s curves.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

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

Initial Correction: <\/strong>One month after beginning treatment, X-rays (with the patient also wearing their shoe and heel lift) showed reduction of both the primary and secondary curve to 13\u00b0 and 10\u00b0 (reductions of 57% and 33% respectively).<\/p>\n

Sustained Improvement:<\/strong> After 11 months of treatment, both curves had reduced to under 10\u00b0 Cobb while using the shoe and heel lift and out of brace.<\/p>\n

Postural Balance Restored:<\/strong> The most recent physical examination revealed that the patient\u2019s posture was more balanced and the angle of trunk rotation measured 4\u00b0 in the thoracic spine and 0\u00b0 in the lumbar spine with the patient wearing their heel lift.<\/p>\n

The patient remained under non-surgical management, with the goal of maintaining correction through continued exercise and monitoring as he progressed through growth.<\/p>\n<\/div>\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
