📣 Case of the Month – June: Scoliosis Awareness Month Spotlight 💚

Sagittal Balance Restored in a De Novo Degenerative Scoliosis Case!

This month, we’re highlighting a powerful transformation in honour of Scoliosis Awareness Month.

This patient came to Avant Chiropractic with:

▪Stiffness and soreness throughout the body, especially in the mornings
▪Lower back pain and significant shoulder discomfort
▪Difficulty walking—limited to just 15 minutes before needing to stop due to pain

After a thorough evaluation and full spinal X-rays, we identified the cause:

🩻 A 33-degree lumbar de novo degenerative scoliosis, with an L3 lateral listhesis and a noticeable forward lean in posture due to sagittal imbalance.

Treatment Plan Included:

▪A custom-fit Lumbar ScoliBrace, worn daily to reduce curve progression and support balance
▪Chiropractic adjustments to reduce joint restriction and improve mobility
▪Mirror image exercises to strengthen underactive muscles and retrain postural alignment
▪Spinal traction therapy on Avant’s ROBOtable, providing precision curve correction in all directions

The Results (3-Month Re-exam):

▪Significant improvement in sagittal balance
▪Reduced forward lean, decreasing long-term health risks associated with imbalance
▪Improved mobility — she can now walk further and with less discomfort
▪Noticeable reduction in stiffness and soreness, and greater comfort throughout the day

This case highlights how de novo degenerative scoliosis—which often begins in adulthood,can be addressed with a proactive, customized approach. Left untreated, this condition can worsen over time, increasing pain, instability, and risk of falls.

June is Scoliosis Awareness Month, and this success story is a reminder of how early detection and the right care plan can dramatically improve quality of life.

At AVANT Chiropractic, we use gentle adjustments and targeted therapies to restore proper movement to the SI joint, reduce inflammation, and relieve pain naturally.

🤸‍♂️ Tip of the Week: Flexibility vs. Mobility – What’s the Difference? 🤔

Flexibility is about how far your muscles can stretch, while mobility is your ability to move with control through a full range of motion. Both are important for reducing pain, improving posture, and preventing injuries! Want to improve both? Focus on a mix of stretching and strength-based movement.

Case of the Month: Restoring Sagittal Balance & Posture!

This patient came to us struggling with:
▪Pain throughout the entire spine
▪Severe headaches affecting daily life
▪Discomfort while sitting, making work and daily activities difficult

Personalized Treatment Plan:
▪Chiropractic adjustments to improve spinal mobility and relieve tension
▪Spinal traction therapy to guide the spine into better alignment and reduce stress on the vertebrae
▪Mirror image exercises to retrain posture and strengthen the muscles supporting the spine

The Results:
▪X-rays show major improvements in sagittal balance and posture
▪Pain has significantly reduced, especially during work and daily activities
▪Headaches have decreased, allowing for clearer focus and better quality of life

This transformation highlights the power of targeted spinal care in improving posture, reducing pain, and restoring function. If you’re struggling with postural imbalances or chronic pain, we’re here to help!
