Understanding Scoliosis
Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine that may develop during growth (adolescent idiopathic scoliosis) or later in life due to wear and tear, injury, or muscular imbalance. It can vary in severity, from a slight postural shift to a more visible curve that affects daily movement and comfort.
Common symptoms include:
- Uneven shoulders or hips
- Muscle tightness or imbalance
- Persistent back or neck pain
- Fatigue from standing or sitting
- Limited flexibility or movement
At Blackwood Osteopathy, we take time to understand how scoliosis affects your whole body — not just your spine — so we can provide care that relieves discomfort and supports better movement patterns.
Our Approach to Treating Scoliosis
Osteopathy for scoliosis focuses on restoring harmony and balance throughout the musculoskeletal system. While we cannot “straighten” the spine, we work to improve the body’s function and comfort.
Your treatment may include:
- Gentle mobilisation techniques to improve spinal flexibility and joint motion
- Soft tissue therapy to relieve muscular tightness and imbalance
- Postural retraining to encourage better alignment and stability
- Stretching and strengthening exercises to support long-term spinal health
- Breathing and mobility guidance to enhance movement and circulation
Each session is adapted to your comfort level, ensuring that care remains safe, effective, and empowering.
