🔄 Double Curve Scoliosis – Understanding the “S” Shape 🔄

Double curve scoliosis occurs when the spine develops two abnormal curves, often forming an “S” shape. This can lead to postural imbalances, uneven shoulders or hips, and back discomfort if left unmanaged.

At AVANT Chiropractic, we offer custom care plans including chiropractic adjustments, posture-specific exercises, and ScoliBrace® solutions to help manage curves, improve alignment, and support long-term spinal health. 🌿✨
Early detection and consistent care make a big difference!

🧠 CHIROPRACTIC STUDY SNAPSHOT
Non-surgical reduction of thoracolumbar hyperkyphosis with structural rehabilitation

A 2024 case series by Paul A. Oakley et al. reports significant improvements in thoracolumbar hyperkyphosis using the Chiropractic BioPhysics® (CBP®) technique.

Scientific Findings:
▪Participants with excessive kyphosis underwent structural rehabilitation (extension traction + manipulation + exercises).
▪Measured reductions in kyphosis angle (e.g., from around 66° → ~45° in one case) were maintained at follow-up.
▪Improvements in posture, spinal alignment, pain and function corresponded to these structural changes.

What Does This Mean?
▪With targeted chiropractic rehabilitation, traction, posture correction, and manipulation, you can reduce the forward curve of the spine, improve pain, and regain function.

At Avant, we integrate posture-specific chiropractic care to go beyond symptom relief, working to reshape alignment, support long-term function and reduce curve progression.

Try incorporating movement you enjoy: walking, stretching, strength training, yoga, or your favourite sport. Consistency matters more than intensity.

📏 What Is a Cobb Angle? 🦴

When diagnosing and monitoring scoliosis, healthcare providers measure the Cobb Angle, the gold-standard method used to determine the degree of spinal curvature.

➡️ 10° or more is considered scoliosis
➡️ 20–40° may require bracing depending on age & progression
➡️ 40°+ may qualify for surgical consultation or advanced bracing solutions

Tracking the Cobb Angle over time helps determine progression, treatment needs, and effectiveness of care such as ScoliBrace, physiotherapeutic scoliosis-specific exercises, or chiropractic management.

📈 Early detection and regular monitoring make a huge difference, especially for growing adolescents and adults noticing postural change or pain.

📱 Forward Head Posture – The Modern Spine Problem 📱

Spending hours on phones and computers can cause the head to shift forward from its ideal alignment—known as Forward Head Posture. For every inch the head moves forward, the neck can experience up to 10–12 lbs of extra strain 😬

This can lead to:
• Neck & upper back pain
• Tension headaches
• Reduced mobility
• Fatigue & poor breathing mechanics

The good news? It’s reversible with the right approach.

At AVANT Chiropractic, we focus on spinal adjustments, postural retraining, and strengthening exercises to restore balance and relieve stress on the spine.

Small daily changes = big improvements in comfort and long-term health!

😴 Your Sleeping Position Matters for a Healthy Spine 🌙

How you sleep can have a big impact on your spinal alignment and overall comfort. Sleeping on your back or side with proper pillow and mattress support helps keep your spine in a neutral position, reducing strain on your neck, shoulders, and lower back.

Avoid sleeping on your stomach, as it can twist your spine and lead to tension or pain over time.

A few small adjustments to your sleep setup can make a big difference in how you feel each morning!

🧍‍♂️ The Adam’s Forward Bend Test — A Simple Check for Scoliosis 🧍‍♀️

The Adam’s Forward Bend Test is a quick, non-invasive screening tool used to detect potential signs of scoliosis. During the test, the person bends forward at the waist, and a clinician observes for asymmetry or rib humps that may indicate a spinal curve.

Early detection is key! Identifying scoliosis early allows for more effective treatment options such as exercise programs or bracing before curves progress.
If you notice uneven shoulders, hips, or a visible curve, it may be worth getting assessed.
