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.

scoliosis and osteopathy

how to fix scoliosis

 

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 exercise

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.

osteopathy and scoliosis

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

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.

The osteopathic health journey with Susannah treats the body as a whole. The treatment on the SPA menu is osteopathy. Osteopathy will realign your posture preformed carefully for your optimal comfort.

Initially apprehensive about osteopathy, Angie saw Susannah to find out if the treatment techniques would leave any unpleasant side effects and if cupping massage left any marks on the back.

DID YOU KNOW? #Aestheticosteopathy can help improve appearance of the ageing spine as well as skin tone via cupping massage and lymphatic drainage – visibly delivering results.

Practical solutions for the modern man, women and families travelling to London. 

Cupping massage stimulates the circulation of the blood and also activates the burning of fat. Manual Lymphatic Drainage works well if the cellulite is accompanied by water retention.

Functional nutrition and lifestyle advice can make your ski season even better. How? Nutrition and tissue repair can be enormously helpful towards sports injury recovery.

Ski preparation

    • Try to follow a dynamic posture strengthening programme for at least two months before ski season. Ski Preparation is key. We’re optimising musculoskeletal balance of our bodies in motion. 
    • Poorly functioning or improperly adjusted equipment is a frequent cause of injuries. Make sure you have the best equipment for your body and ski requirements.
    • Improve technique with lessons. Equipment and technique evolve quite fast.. even experienced skiers can benefit from a refresher.

DID YOU KNOW? There’s good evidence that osteopathy is effective in treating persistent low back pain.
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommends it as a treatment for this condition.

To an osteopath, for our body to work well, its structure must also work well. So osteopaths work to restore our body to a state of balance. We do this, where possible, without the use of drugs or surgery.
Osteopaths use touch, physical manipulation, stretching and massage. The techniques increase the mobility of joints, to relieve muscle tension. Also these enhance the blood and nerve supply to tissues. This helps our body’s own healing mechanisms.
They may also provide advice on posture and exercise to aid recovery, promote health and prevent symptoms recurring.

Osteopathy specialises in the (i) diagnosis, (ii) management, (iii) treatment and (iv) prevention of musculoskeletal and other related disorders.

Osteopathy in London

Your osteopath will give you a clear explanation of what they find (their diagnosis) and discuss a treatment plan that is suitable for you. They will explain the benefits and any risks of the treatment they are recommending. It is important to understand and agree what the treatment can achieve, and the likely number of sessions needed for a noticeable improvement in how you feel.

Treatment is hands-on and involves skilled manipulation of the spine and joints, and massage of soft tissues. Your osteopath will explain what they are doing and will always ask your permission to treat you (known as consent). Ask questions at any time if you are unsure what you have been told or if you have any concerns.

Self-help measures and advice on exercise may be offered to assist your recovery, prevent recurrence or worsening of symptoms.

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.

Why Osteopathy

Back pain

Back pain isn’t the only reason why 30,000++ people every day in the UK visit their osteopath… 6 reasons why below.

(i) What’s the difference between an osteopath, a chiropractor and a physiotherapist?
(ii) Do I need to have back pain to book an appointment with my osteopath?
(iii) Do I need a referral to see my osteopath? (The answer is no!)

why osteopathy

So let’s start at the very beginning! WHY OSTEOPATHY then WHEN OSTEOPATHY.

6 reasons why osteopathy works:

  1. You’ve had a minor injury but it’s now several days later and it isn’t improving
  2. You have ongoing pain and know you’re popping too many pills in order to cope with it
  3. After pregnancy your body is struggling to return to normal and baby is terribly unsettled too
    pregnancy osteopathy

    why osteopathy

  4. You’re in training for a sporting event and you want to perform the best you can and avoid injuries
sports injury osteopathy

             5. You’ve got a debilitating condition which can’t be cured but is causing you great discomfort
6. You suffer with regular headaches and migraine which makes your life a misery

How does osteopathy work?

To an osteopath, for our body to work well, its structure must also work well. So osteopaths work to restore our body to a state of balance, where possible without the use of drugs or surgery.
Why osteopathy? Osteopaths use touch, physical manipulation, stretching and massage to increase the mobility of joints, to relieve muscle tension, to enhance the blood and nerve supply to tissues, and to help your body’s own healing mechanisms.
Your osteopath may also provide advice on posture and exercise to aid recovery, promote health and prevent symptoms recurring.

So, why osteopathy? Osteopaths are like ‘Pain Detectives’. Highly skilled at working out where the main problem or issue is happening. Osteopaths trace back to the actual cause of the pain and deal with that too.

Why osteopathy at Susannah Makram Clinics ? It’s SAFE. CLINICAL. PRACTICAL. EFFECTIVE. What are Susannah’s colleagues and clients saying about her?

Nutrition: The Secret To Success

WHY NUTRITION?

Naturopathic medicine & its principles are historically powerful evidence-based methods of treating the signs of ageing. The secret to success by nutrition, by naturopathy all begins here

SAFE. clinical assessment and examination can prevent CLINICAL. investigation and if this is not needed to scan for serious disease then it must be divisive to PRACTICAL. personalised nutritional treatment to be EFFECTIVE.

As liaison’s officer to the British Naturopathic Journal, I find this to be more so a priority within the sets of my responsibilities. As founder of The Body Youth Code, founder of The Functional Healthcare Group, I do and I train.

Intrinsic ageing is not a disease but a natural process. This is why, when my client feels let down by unsuccessful treatment, balance is our goal. Repair to solve extrinsic signs of ageing comes next. This is weight loss; hair loss & skincare; chronic Fatigue (or unexplained fatigue)

WHAT IS THE CONNECTION BETWEEN GUT HEALTH AND AGEING, OR THE BIG FOUR – WEIGHT LOSS, HAIR AND SKINCARE AND FATIGUE – THAT YOU SEE TO, SPECIFICALLY?

Gut health – The human intestinal tract harbours a diverse and complex microbial community which plays a central role in human health. So, when treating the body as a whole, it makes sense to address to the cause of skin conditions, low energy levels, unhealthy weight gain etc. to what we put inside our bodies. i.e. our gut health

Professional athletes are reaching their full potential. They’re at the top of their game by taking their nutrition seriously. We start by wanting to take ownership of their health. Effective personalised nutrition – what’s yours? 

CEOs and diplomats and anyone susceptible to stress – any one, in other words! – testify to this fact. Making this manageable in today’s world need not be difficult. It is possible. iStock_000051960718_Small

To all people food is knowledge. It’s not just fuel for the body and its systems.

On a cellular level, nutrition is a vital part of managing the undesirable signs of accelerated ageing [tweetthis]#Nutrition is a vital part of managing the undesirable signs of accelerated #ageing [/tweetthis]

A gut that is functioning optimally provides the environment necessary for inside out health. Our body works as a functional unit.

It takes a lot of energy to break down food with a gut that is not working properly….  [tweetthis]It takes a lot of energy to break down food with a gut that is not working properly[/tweetthis]    for whatever reason!

If we want our nutrition to fuel our body instead of making us unwell and tired all the time, we need to have good gut function.  a healthy gut This in turn directs energies towards cell renewal which is the number one mechanism to reverse the signs of ageing. Tapping into this store of energy successfully, from one individual to the next, is a process that requires the clinical expertise.

Energy by nutrition enhances cell turnover rate to reverse the signs of ageing.   [tweetthis]Direct energy by nutrition towards enhancing your cell turnover rate & reverse ageing.[/tweetthis]

WITHOUT GIVING ANY SECRETS AWAY, HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR TREATMENT PHILOSOPHY?

The Body Youth Code is solutions-based. We examine and see how the body is functioning – as a whole. Osteopathy and Naturopathy use such holistic methods .

Osteopathy looks at what factors are causing the body to stop functioning at its best.  The better that this is understood, the better your treatment results. This is equal for back pain, neck pain as for naturopathic nutrition. Personalising this is for your healthy weight loss. Nutrition for healthy skin and nutrition for hair loss require an understanding of the problem from its root. Fertility nutrition and nutrition for tiredness, weakness or fatigue have often more than one cause.

The Body Youth Code has roots in osteopathic and naturopathic principles. The pathophysiology of disease and its specific effect on the neuroendocrine system needs understanding.

“Diagnosis”means to know… through and through, the Greek roots “dia”, meaning ‘through’ (as in diagonal – an angle through) and “gnosis” meaning ‘essential knowing.’

6 Reasons: Osteopathy, Nutrition and health

Posted on: by Susannah

Functional Osteopathy

Knightsbridge and Chelsea Osteopath Susannah helps optimise professional performance. HOW? Physical therapy techniques unique to osteopathy. Functional osteopathy treats the body as a whole.
How we move is our dynamic posture. Osteopathic techniques with a focus at Susannah Makram Clinics enhance two things: form and function.  We do this to capitalise on our body’s unique inherent strength.
We do this to optimise health. PRO-TIP: Don’t ignore warning signs.

SAFE. CLINICAL. PRACTICAL. EFFECTIVE. Does it always include functional nutrition? 

In London our modern lifestyle means chronic back pain and chronic health concerns recur. —->>>  Why?

Is it stress? What makes us tired all the time? Get stubborn belly fat, skin conditions and poor hair health?
Can  functional nutrition boost performance by a notch after osteopathy?

OSTEOPATHY, NUTRITION CONT’D

When’s the best time to have osteopathy?

“Health is more than the absence of disease. Health is about jobs and employment, education, the environment, and all of those things that go into making us healthy.”

Posture and Health

What does being healthy mean to you? Total body wellness or simply feeling balanced? Form and function. The best way to visualise these two things is via our posture. Our posture and health are interconnected.

Are you fatigued at work? Bloated or experiencing gastrointestinal symptoms of stress and anxiety? Chest pains? Feel like you cannot breath properly, you have aches in your joints? Poor posture can lead to an impairment to blood flow through the chest. This strains the blood vessels below the chest to produce a weakness in blood flow to the brain and cause fatigue (Orthostatic intolerance).

Nutrition and health

An internal chemical and hormonal imbalance sets us up for illness. One example can be seen in this study linking Low Immune Function and Intestinal Bacterial Imbalance to the Etiology of Rheumatoid Arthritis. There’s a case for diet and lifestyle alone to be a potential cause of non specific chronic lower back pain. Osteopaths look to treat the cause of pain or disease. Our training includes studying the pathophysiology of disease. Inflammation must exist for a reason. Pain, therefore, must exist for a reason. Put simply, poor posture from lower back pain or an injury we are accommodating for leads to our disrupted patterns of healthy:

(i) breathing (ii) digestion (iii) sleep (iv) responses to nutrition  (v) respones to stress

osteopathy, nutrition

osteopathy, nutrition

Osteopaths are highly competent healthcare professionals, recognised by the NHS. Osteopathy is a way of detecting, treating and preventing health problems. Osteopathy, nutrition and lifestyle change support is health optimisation. How are you feeling?

Osteopathy, Nutrition

The Missing Link In Functional Care. A clinical background in Osteopathy Matters. 6 Reasons – Osteopathy, Nutrition.

  1. Osteopathy seeks to find dysfunction. All the while we’re examining and treating the body as a whole.
  2. Using our understanding of disease pathophysiology and pain pathways are the greatest diagnostic tools of the osteopath.
  3. Correctly identify the cause or causes linked to why you are seeking nutritional therapy to begin with are the only way to deliver the correct therapy or therapy as treatment.
  4. “You can have inflammation without pain, but there is no pain without inflammation”. One cause of pain is metabolic. A type or stage of inflammation indicates a homeostatic imbalance. Both osteopathy and naturopathy adhere to the principle of helping to create the right environment. This is for optimal homeostatis (balance). It means the body will heal itself, as it does in nature. We help this bodily process to happen to the best of its ability.
  5. Clinically, common tests to diagnose inflammation are erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), white blood cell count, albumin levels (and other biomarkers). These tests are nonspecific. So, an abnormal result might be from a condition unrelated to inflammation. With osteopathy, nutrition and lifestyle as a means of optimising health, it’s important to know about this. Recognising signs and symptoms of acute, sub-acute and chronic inflammatory process, for example. Also, being able to interpret laboratory reports thus, is unique and invaluable for healthy weight loss results, unexplained fatigue etc.
  6. Our hormones have a complicated relationship with our Central Nervous System as well as our Cardiovascular Systems.

Functional testing in osteopathy, nutrition

Conventional medical testing will usually produce a result only when you’ve developed a disease. Often you may feel ill long before there is a “measurable pathology” – you know something is wrong but your tests keep coming back clear. Sound familiar?
