Scoliosis, Kyphosis & Lordosis Treatment
At Medical Grade Physiotherapy & Wellness, we specialize in helping patients manage and improve spinal conditions such as scoliosis, kyphosis, and lordosis. These conditions involve abnormal curvatures of the spine, which can lead to pain, poor posture, muscle imbalances, and limited mobility if left untreated. Early intervention and proper care can make a significant difference in long-term spinal health.
Understanding Spinal Curvatures
-
Scoliosis: Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine that can occur in children, teens, or adults. Symptoms include uneven shoulders or hips, back pain, and fatigue. Mild scoliosis may not cause noticeable problems, but more severe curvatures can affect movement and posture.
-
Kyphosis: Kyphosis is an excessive forward rounding of the upper back, often called a “hunchback.” It can develop due to poor posture, age-related spinal changes, or conditions like Scheuermann’s disease. Symptoms may include stiffness, pain in the upper back, and reduced spinal flexibility.
-
Lordosis: Lordosis, or “swayback,” is characterized by an exaggerated inward curve of the lower back. It can lead to lower back pain, muscle tightness, and discomfort during daily activities or exercise.
