Discover the Schroth Method:
A Proven Approach to Scoliosis Treatment. If you or a loved one is navigating the challenges of scoliosis, there’s hope beyond traditional treatments.
At Primacare, we are proud to offer the Schroth Method, a highly researched and proven approach to managing and improving scoliosis in both adolescents and adults.
What is the Schroth Method?
The Schroth Method is currently one of the most effective exercise-based treatments for scoliosis.
Developed through years of clinical research, it focuses on improving posture and reducing spinal curvature by targeting both structural and postural components of the spine.
This innovative method incorporates:
Cognitive training
Sensory-motor reeducation
Kinesthetic awareness
These techniques are designed to help patients understand and adopt improved posture and movement habits that support spinal health throughout daily life.
Why Choose the Schroth Method?
Unlike more invasive treatments, such as surgery or braces alone, the Schroth Method offers a holistic, non-invasive solution that empowers individuals with long-term tools to manage their condition.
Benefits of Schroth-Based Therapy Include:
Stopping, decreasing, or partially correcting curve progression
Improving posture and movement function
Reducing pain symptoms
Enhancing breathing capacity
Increasing brace effectiveness
Preventing or delaying the need for surgery
Improving psychological well-being
Boosting the overall quality of life
Backed by Science
Spinal curvature in scoliosis has both structural and postural components. The Schroth Method specifically targets the postural aspect, reducing asymmetric spinal loading and interrupting the progression cycle.
According to a study published in Clinical Rehabilitation (2015) by Kuru T. et al., three-dimensional Schroth exercises showed significant effectiveness in treating adolescent idiopathic scoliosis through a randomized controlled clinical trial.
