Case Study 012: R.S.
In May 2016, a case study was conducted on a 12-year-old female patient, referred to as S.R., to evaluate the efficacy of intensive care treatment for scoliosis. S.R. exhibited an S-shaped spinal deformity, with a 10-degree curvature on the top right side and a 17.5-degree curvature on the bottom left side. Her left hip was elevated by 4 degrees compared to the right, indicating significant asymmetry.
S.R. reported primary symptoms of back pain, uneven shoulders, spinal rotation, and lordosis, commonly associated with scoliosis. These symptoms can cause discomfort and limited mobility. A treatment plan was implemented, focusing on intensive care over a two-week period.
The treatment regimen included abdominal strengthening exercises to enhance core stability and support spinal alignment, crucial for managing scoliosis-related pain and preventing further curvature progression.
Post-treatment evaluations showed a reduction in spinal curvature, with the top curve decreasing to 3 degrees and the bottom curve to 13.5 degrees. This indicates a positive response to treatment, with noticeable improvement in spinal alignment.
In conclusion, S.R.’s case emphasizes the potential benefits of targeted exercises and intensive care in scoliosis treatment. The decrease in curvature and pain relief post-treatment highlight the importance of early intervention and dedicated therapeutic approaches in managing this condition.
