Our Approach to Spinal Health
At Ryde Physiotherapy Center, we offer comprehensive care and personalized treatment plans to address a wide range of spinal conditions, including but not limited to:
Scoliosis: Scoliosis is a common spinal condition characterized by an abnormal sideways curvature of the spine. Our expert physiotherapist is trained to provide specialized exercises and therapies to help manage scoliosis and improve postural alignment.
However, there are several types of Scoliosis and each case is unique and the underlying causes may vary from person to person. If you suspect that you, or someone you know, may have Scoliosis it is essential to consult a professional such as a Physiotherapist for proper evaluation.
Some common causes of Scoliosis can include:
- Idiopathic Scoliosis: This is the most common type of scoliosis and typically occurs in children and adolescents during their growth spurt. The cause of idiopathic scoliosis is not well understood, but it is believed to have a genetic component.
- Congenital Scoliosis: This type of scoliosis is present at birth and is the result of abnormal development of the vertebrae in the spine. Congenital scoliosis can be caused by vertebral anomalies or abnormalities in the formation of the spine.
- Neuromuscular Conditions: Certain neuromuscular conditions, such as cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, or spinal muscular atrophy, can lead to scoliosis due to muscle weakness or imbalance that affects the alignment of the spine.
- Degenerative Scoliosis: This type of scoliosis occurs in older adults as a result of degeneration of the spine, such as degenerative disc disease or osteoporosis. The gradual wear and tear on the spine can lead to curvature over time.
- Traumatic Scoliosis: Scoliosis can also develop as a result of a traumatic injury to the spine, such as a fracture or dislocation, which causes the spine to curve abnormally during the healing process.
- Syndromic Scoliosis: Some genetic syndromes, such as Marfan syndrome or Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, are associated with scoliosis as one of their symptoms. These syndromes can affect the connective tissues in the body, including the spine.
Herniated Discs: Herniated discs can cause debilitating pain and discomfort. Our tailored treatment programs focus on relieving pressure on the affected nerves, reducing inflammation, and restoring proper function to the spine.
Degenerative Disc Disease: As we age, the discs in our spine can degenerate, leading to pain and reduced mobility. Our physiotherapy interventions aim to strengthen the supporting muscles, improve flexibility, and slow down the progression of degenerative disc disease.
Spinal Stenosis: Spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the spinal canal that can compress the nerves and cause pain and numbness. Through targeted exercises and manual therapy, our team can help alleviate symptoms and improve your quality of life.
Post-Surgical Rehabilitation: If you have undergone spinal surgery, our rehabilitation programs can aid in your recovery process, restore function, and prevent future issues.
