Case Study 006: A.M.
In July 2013, a case study documented a 58-year-old male patient, referred to as A.M., with a significant spinal deformity. A.M. was diagnosed with a 43-degree right-left C curve scoliosis, accompanied by noticeable rotation and a pronounced hump on his back. This condition resulted in uneven shoulders, back pain, and a tendency to lean while standing. A.M. also exhibited a 5-degree elevation of the right hip compared to the left.
The treatment for A.M. consisted of a two-week intensive care program focusing on exercises to strengthen and balance the muscles around the spine, improve flexibility, and promote better posture. The regimen was tailored to address the specific challenges posed by his condition.
Following treatment, A.M. demonstrated notable improvement. The curvature of his spine reduced to 39.5 degrees, accompanied by significant de-rotation. These improvements translated into a visibly more balanced posture and relief from symptoms. A.M. reported reduced back pain and an improved ability to stand straight without leaning.
A.M.’s case shows that targeted physical therapy effectively manages severe scoliosis. This emphasizes the need for personalized care plans for each patient’s condition. A.M.’s dedication to treatment emphasizes the importance of patient commitment for a better quality of life.
