Advanced Scoliosis and Hyperkyphosis Management

Addressing Severe Scoliosis and Hyperkyphosis:

40°+ Cobb (Scoliosis) and Forward Head Posture Over 70mm (Hyperkyphosis)

At Lighthouse Chiropractic and Integrative Health, we are committed to providing comprehensive care for scoliosis and hyperkyphosis, even in their most advanced stages. When scoliosis progresses to a Cobb angle above 40° and hyperkyphosis results in a forward head carriage greater than 70 mm, the condition becomes significantly more complex. While our goal is always to avoid surgery, we recognize that in these advanced cases, it is essential to consider surgical options as part of the conversation.

The Role of Conservative Management and Scolibrace

Advanced Chiropractic Biophysics

As an advanced certified chiropractic biophysics office, we are uniquely positioned to offer conservative management techniques that are uncommon in traditional medical or chiropractic settings. Dr. Graham Jenkins, our expert in chiropractic biophysics, utilizes specialized methods to realign the spine, improve posture, and reduce curvature, aiming to stabilize and potentially reduce the severity of scoliosis and hyperkyphosis.

Scolibrace Support

For patients with advanced scoliosis and hyperkyphosis, the Scolibrace system provides critical support. This unique, three-dimensional corrective brace is designed to work in conjunction with our conservative therapies to enhance spinal alignment and stability. With consistent use and commitment to the rehabilitation process, many patients can avoid surgery and maintain a healthy, active life.

Strengthening and Rehabilitation

Strengthening and stabilization exercises are integral to our treatment plans. These exercises focus on improving the musculature that supports the spine, enhancing flexibility, and promoting better posture. By committing to these exercises and adhering to the use of the Scolibrace, patients give their bodies the best chance to avoid surgical intervention.

Collaboration with Top Surgeons

While our primary aim is to manage and correct spinal deformities conservatively, we understand that severe cases may require surgical consideration. At Lighthouse Chiropractic and Integrative Health, we have established connections with some of the top surgeons in the province. This collaboration ensures that our patients receive the highest standard of care, whether through conservative management or surgical intervention.
