De novo scoliosis, a spinal condition that develops in people as we age, and progresses more rapidly over the age of 60, is becoming increasingly common as our population ages. Unlike adolescent scoliosis, de novo scoliosis is typically linked to degenerative changes in the spine, such as disc degeneration, osteoporosis, and the weakening of spinal structures. This condition can lead to significant back pain, posture changes, and mobility issues, making effective treatment essential for maintaining a high quality of life. When you see an elderly person walking in a tilted or forward bent position, it’s likely that they have this condition.
At Lake Nona Chiropractic and Scoliosis Center, we specialize in the comprehensive treatment of de novo scoliosis, using a combination of advanced methods like the ScoliBrace, Physiotherapeutic Scoliosis Specific Exercises (PSSE), and scoliosis-specific chiropractic care. Our holistic approach is designed to reduce pain, improve posture, and help you get back to the activities you love.
What is De Novo Scoliosis?
De novo scoliosis is a spinal curvature that develops later in life, and is typically diagnosed after the age of 60. Unlike idiopathic scoliosis, which occurs in adolescents and has no known cause, de novo scoliosis is often associated with age-related changes in the spine. Common symptoms include back pain, a noticeable shift in posture, and difficulty standing or walking for extended periods.
How ScoliBrace Helps Manage De Novo Scoliosis
One of the most effective tools in treating de novo scoliosis is the ScoliBrace. This custom-made brace is designed to fit the unique curvature of your spine, providing a 3D correctional approach that not only helps stop the progression of scoliosis but can also reduce the existing curve. The ScoliBrace is particularly beneficial for older adults, as it is comfortable to wear and highly effective at alleviating pain and improving posture.
The Benefits of Physiotherapeutic Scoliosis Specific Exercises (PSSE)
PSSEs are specialized exercises tailored to the individual’s specific spinal curvature. These exercises play a crucial role in managing de novo scoliosis by strengthening the muscles around the spine, improving flexibility, and enhancing overall spinal function. Regularly performing PSSEs can help reduce pain, improve mobility, and prevent the progression of the spinal curve.
Scoliosis-Specific Chiropractic Care for Pain Relief and Improved Function
Chiropractic care is a key component of our treatment strategy for de novo scoliosis at Lake Nona Chiropractic and Scoliosis Center.
