Scoliosis is an abnormal curvature of the spine and usually detected in childhood and adolescence. Scoliosis can be idiopathic (no known cause), congenital (due to a birth defect in the spine), or neuromuscular due to conditions such as cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, and spina bifida. Scoliosis may cause back pain or it may be asymptomatic. Most mild cases of scoliosis dont require surgery or braces and they do well with physiotherapy treatment including exercises to stretch one side and strengthen the other. Our therapists are trained in detecting and treating mild scoliosis or providing a referral to other specialists in more advanced cases.
