ScoliCare East Phoenix Arizona

Did you know there are various causes of scoliosis?🤔
​
While 80% of cases are idiopathic (unknown origin), the rest include Neuromuscular (due to neurological conditions), Congenital (birth defects), and Pathological (underlying diseases like cancer).
​
Understanding scoliosis's various types and causes is essential for effective treatment and management. 🩺
​
ScoliCare East Phoenix offers tailored treatment plans to address each unique case. For more information and support, visit our website or call us at 480-892-0022.📞
​

Did you know that the first signs of scoliosis or hyperkyphosis often appear in your posture?
​
An early indicator is an uneven shoulder or a rib cage that sticks out more on one side.🧍‍♂️
​
A thorough postural assessment, like the Adams forward bending test, can help determine if further testing is needed. 🔍
​
But you can start checking for early signs at home too!
​
ScoliScreen is a free web-based tool to help spot early signs of scoliosis. 📲
​
While it's a great educational resource for raising awareness and promoting early detection, it's important to remember that it's not a substitute for professional advice.

Early detection and understanding of scoliosis are important, especially in children. 🧒
​
Scoliosis that starts young has a higher chance of getting worse over time. In some cases, infants may get better on their own, but close monitoring is key.
​
Early intervention is crucial if scoliosis continues into early childhood, especially between six and eight years old. 🔍
​
This is because there is still a lot of growth left, which can increase the risk of curve progression.
​
Proactive monitoring and early action can greatly improve outcomes. 👍
​
Parents need to stay informed and consult a healthcare professional quickly. 🩺

Finding the right sleeping position while wearing a ScoliBrace is crucial for your comfort.

Back Sleeping - Sleeping on your back is often the most comfortable position when wearing a brace. It allows your body to be evenly supported by the mattress and can reduce pressure points.

Side Sleeping - If you prefer sleeping on your side, (depending on the design of your brace) place a pillow between your knees. This can help align your spine and reduce pressure from the brace.

Avoid Stomach Sleeping - Stomach sleeping is generally not recommended as it can put additional strain on your back and neck, potentially increasing discomfort.

ScoliCare East Phoenix Arizona focuses on non-surgical treatment for scoliosis and hyperkyphosis, led by Dr. Andy Pivonka (D.C.). ​ 🧑‍⚕️
​
Our clinic offers thorough assessments to create personalized treatment plans. We emphasize non-surgical bracing and physiotherapeutic scoliosis-specific exercise programs (PSSE). 💪
