SCOLIOSIS

What is it?
💡 in simple words - a sideways curvature of the spine that may or may not result in musculoskeletal symptoms

There are many different types and severities of scoliosis ranging from:
• idiopathic (unknown cause) most common - 80%
• congenital
• neuromuscular

The location of the curvature can vary from upper back (thoracic), lower back (lumbar) or a combination of both thoracolumbar)

Generally majority of cases respond well to conservative treatment (physiotherapy) through manual therapy and exercise prescription, whilst more severe cases may require bracing or potentially surgical intervention.

Common ‘tell at home signs’ can include:
- uneven shoulders
- uneven waist creases
- hump in the back when bent over (swipe 👉🏻 to see the forward bend test)

Despite rising knowledge of scoliosis, did you know only 2-3% of the population are actually affected?

LET’S TALK DRY NEEDLING!

🔎What is it?

Insertion of a thin acupuncture needle into the skin and muscle. Often we are asked how dry needling differs to acupuncture. Whilst the same type of needle is used, the actual technique largely varies. Acupuncture involves leaving a needle in the muscle for a period of time. Whereas, dry needling involves specific identification of a myofascial trigger point (an irritable and tender taut band within the muscle), and stimulation of this trigger point through a technique called pistoning. This particular method of dry needling is called ‘trigger point dry needling’.

Research has shown that dry needling:
⚡️improves blood flow and oxygenation
⚡️restores muscle length
⚡️improves range of motion
⚡️normalises muscle tone
⚡️improves chemical balances
⚡️enhances recovery
⚡️reduces pain

Here at SportsMed NQ our physiotherapists will conduct a thorough assessment to determine an individualised treatment approach tailored to your needs.

The Boom Bust Pain Cycle 🤕
The boom/bust pain cycle occurs when someone who is in pain has a good day and attempts to achieve many tasks or activities over that day (the boom).This can then be followed by a bad pain day due to the increase in activity (the bust). This increase in pain then slows the person down as they then rest to return back to baseline, losing progress during this time allowing the process to then start again!
Many people who experience pain and in particular, chronic pain can fall into this cycle. It is important that when you are recovering from a painful condition that you take it steady and pace yourself, even on good days!
If you need help with this, your Physiotherapist or Exercise Physiologist can help you work through this!

The average resultant peak force during stair climbing is 5.4 times your body weight.

To help support these activities and reduce complications on your knees you need to increase the strength in your quadriceps to help support the load going through your knees.

Come and see us for a functional assessment and to help provide you with a safe strengthening program to ensure you are able to continue to do all your favourite activities ⛰💪

Brain injuries and the short and long-term effects are being taken much more seriously due to the rise in the knowledge of Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE).
