How to fix scoliosis

How to fix scoliosis

Here’s how to fix scoliosis when you know what’s scoliosis exactly. If you have it, you need to know who can help. By fixing it are you getting rid of curvatures forever or only dealing with pain if there is any. We’re covering it all in one go.

Scoliosis Categories

Scoliosis is any abnormal sideways curvature of the spine measuring at least 10 degrees on an x-ray. Extreme cases of scoliosis can be disabling, causing lung and heart complications. The general categories are structural scoliosis and nonstructural or functional scoliosis.

Structural vs. Nonstructural Scoliosis

Here are two general categories for scoliosis:

  • Structural scoliosis is by far the most common category of scoliosis. It involves spinal rotation in addition to the side-to-side curvature of the spine. This type of scoliosis affects the spine’s structure and is considered permanent unless the spine receives treatment.
  • Nonstructural scoliosis, also known as functional scoliosis, results from a temporary cause and only involves a side-to-side curvature of the spine (no spinal rotation). The spine’s structure is still normal.

When we do an orthopaedic standing exam at Susannah Makram clinics for osteopathy we are looking at the scoliosis curve in motion. If a client with nonstructural scoliosis or functional scoliosis bends forward or lies down, the scoliosis curve will likely disappear for as long as this position is held.
Structural scoliosis is typically considered more serious because it doesn’t straighten out on its own and can potentially result in more spinal deformity.

Common Causes of Nonstructural Scoliosis

While non-structural scoliosis is relatively uncommon, here are some ways it can occur:

  • Muscle spasms. If a major muscle in the back starts to spasm, the spine can be pulled in one direction and a sideways curve may result.
  • Difference in leg heights. This is when one leg is significantly longer than the other – either by bone length, pelvic positioning (therefore in appearance etc. In either instance a scoliosis curve may be present while standing.
  • Inflammation. This is when an area of the body to one side of the spine or the other starts to become inflamed. Cupping massage with hot and cold therapy can be extremely helpful to reduce inflammation. Where present a scoliosis curve can result. Some possible extreme causes could be of inflammation can be appendicitis or pneumonia.

Scoliosis and Osteopathy

Signs of Scoliosis can include:
• Uneven musculature on one side of the spine
• Rib prominences or prominent shoulder blade, caused by rotation of the rib cage in Thoracic scoliosis (mid back)
• Uneven hips, arms (shoulders) or leg length

How to fix scoliosis that is non structural scoliosis is quite common with osteopathy. We tend to find this with muscle imbalance any way. Sometimes it’s very small and barely noticeable. You can learn about ways to maintain a better posture to keep your functional scoliosis at bay after osteopathic treatment.

Osteopathic approach to scoliosis

Osteopathy can help when looking into how to fix scoliosis. We’re asked how to fix scoliosis without surgery often in clinic. Contact us for your healthy journey outlook for using osteopathy and exercises for scoliosis.
Treating Scoliosis at Susannah Makram Clinics – osteopathy and Scoliosis.

How much does your scoliosis affect your day to day movements and functions? Osteopathy with Susannah can help by reducing inflammation often created by small tears in overused muscle fibres with scoliosis using cupping massage combined with cyrotherapy.

Also, mobilising the thoracic spine (mid back), sternum, ribs, shoulders and associated muscles by gentle but precise traction and stretching.

Working into the fascia to stretch the diagram, and hip muscles, actively and passively to regain lost muscle memory and also lumbar spine. trying to increase the range of movement in both areas.

Reverse scoliosis with exercise

Mobilisation of the pelvis is also be necessary to aid leg length and in turn, help straighten the lower back and further up the spine. This is best when worked into day to day gym or exercise programmes of the client. At Susannah Makram Clinics we personalise dynamic movement strength training according to the client

Ski Season

Ski Season

 Ski season: Getting shipshape for ski season at London’s Bulgari Hotel

We’re off to Zurich, Montreux, Chamonix. We love ski season Austria, ski season France. Won’t you join us?

 
Telegraph Travel
Most recreational skiers/snowboarders admit they hit the slopes with too little preparation. This fact alone greatly increases risk of injury. Weak and tired muscles make ski injuries more likely. How can we prepare for ski season?

Most Common Ski Injuries

Knee injuries are the most common ski injury. Typically knee ACL tear. We see recurrent ankle sprain and hip or groin strain from injury second to this most commonly. Low back pain tends to creep in when muscles overworking to keep our bodies balanced, become fatigued.

Ski Preparation is key!

Read about our ski season ski fit programme in the Telegraph luxury Travel edition. 
It’s advisable to follow a dynamic posture strengthening programme for at least two months before ski season. Ski Preparation is key to having an amazing ski season.
Many ski injuries like knee injuries happen at the end of the day when tired. Knee injuries also include meniscal tears and bursitis.

Ski Season Austria

Weak and tired muscles make ski injuries more likely. So most office workers traveling non-stop for business will struggle with the sudden change of pace that skiing will do to the body.

Low back pain and knee pain can be related as we change the way we walk. Our bodies take time to “re-balance” — we can help speed this up for those who need to fly, work, ski some more.

When does ski season start?

Ski season Europe starts when you say it does. This is the reality. If it’s peak season climate wise, doesn’t mean your body is. If you want to make the most out of ski season then you’ve got to prepare for it. Or eat fondue. Up to you! The average ski holiday is man-handled by a rich and varied array of extremely hungover, under-qualified, disgruntled individuals. You’ll become one of them if you suffer the most common ski injury.

Skiing is awesome but accidents can and do happen so be prepared for the best ski season of your life.

Is Osteopathy For Me?

Osteopathy is a primary care profession. Your osteopath focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, prevention and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal disorders. Also your osteopath focuses on the effects of these conditions on your general health.

Functional Osteopathy

Functional Osteopathy

We use many diagnostic procedures applied in conventional medical assessment. Your osteopath seeks to restore the optimal functioning of the body, where possible without the use of drugs or surgery.

The human body has an amazing capacity to repair and recover. Osteopathy helps remove any barriers to that process.

In short, an Osteopaths aim is to help restore optimal function, but more importantly, prevent pain returning and injuries from reoccurring.

FAQS @ Susannah Makram Clinics – Can I claim osteopathy on my private medical insurance?

Many private health insurance policies provide cover for osteopathic treatment.  It may be possible to claim for a course of treatment. It is advisable to check in advance with your insurance company before seeking Osteopathic treatment, in order to confirm the available level of cover and whether you will need to have a referral from your GP or a specialist.

Functional health — How?

What about Functional Nutrition? 

Can the right functional testing can help us make small, simple changes to our diet? Changes that have a greater impact on our quality of life.

In modern times, we want our nutritional facts and we want them NOW! But are they up to date? Where are the clinical trials?
We say we need to change. What we need is to stop saying it and take action before it’s too late.

Our choices of nutrition are becoming recognised – finally! – as massive drivers to our health. This is good news because in modern times we’ve never been sicker. Our food has a lot to answer for.
