Scoliosis Specific Exercises

New Study Shows Scoliosis-Specific Exercises Can Reduce Progression of Severe Curves In Adults With Scoliosis

A recent retrospective long term cohort study on adults with severe scoliosis showed that scoliosis specific exercises can reduce the progression of severe curves in adult idiopathic scoliosis.

The study conducted by Dr. Negrini of the Italian Scientific Spine Institute examined the results of 34 adult idiopathic scoliosis patients who had undergone scoliosis specific exercise and concluded that this treatment could improve upon natural history of scoliosis in adults and therefore should be considered as a first line treatment for adults with painful or severe scoliosis, especially for those patients refusing to consider surgical intervention for their scoliosis.

Avoiding Scoliosis Scoliosis Surgery in Adulthood

Since surgical intervention is often a risky proposition for older adults, those adults with scoliosis related pain and disability should consider a program of scoliosis specific exercises like Nu-Schroth as a way of managing their scoliosis to relieve their pain and avoid a lengthy and complex scoliosis surgery.

      Antonia,

      The study suggests that the exercises must be specific for scoliosis. So while the exercises provided in the study were SEAS exercise, it is our opinion that there is no reason to believe that these conclusions would not apply to other scoliosis specific exercises like the Nu-Schroth Method.

      It is possible since the forces that drive a scoliosis to get worse are not necessarily stopped by fusing the spine. If those forces are what is causing your pain then it is possible that scoliosis specific exercises could help your pain. Each case is different and must be evaluated individually but we have helped post op patients with our Nu-Schroth Scoliosis Specific exercise programs. I would recommend that you give us a call at (800) 943-1254 for a Free Phone Consult to discuss your particular case further. Dr. Brett Diaz, D.C.
