Adult scoliosis pain does not always look the way you would expect, and that is exactly why it can be so easy to miss in practice.

Dr. Jeb McAviney and Dr. Joel Ackerman recently presented at the ACA Connect and Learn, walking chiropractors through adult degenerative scoliosis from the first look to the full picture. They shared individual cases, then took the room through postural reviews, reading an X-ray, palpation and skin marking, and a timed up and go falls screen with a volunteer from the audience. A side by side comparison of adolescent and adult degenerative scoliosis showed how differently the two present, and why the examination needs to match.

Thank you to the Australian Chiropractic Association for having us, and to everyone who joined in and got hands on!

Congenital does not mean inherited. It is one of the most common assumptions we hear about this type of scoliosis.

Congenital scoliosis means the curve was present at birth, the result of vertebrae that did not fully form before birth. The curves can change as a child grows, which is why close monitoring is so important from the start. Congenital scoliosis can also come with other associated conditions, making a thorough assessment especially valuable.

If you have questions about a congenital scoliosis diagnosis, please call our clinic to book an assessment with our scoliosis clinician who can explain what to monitor and walk you through your options.

Most clinicians see adolescent scoliosis. Far fewer feel confident managing it. Spend one day changing that.

We are bringing our Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Workshop to Brisbane, led by Dr. Loretta Kelly, Scoliosis Clinician and Chiropractor, and Rose Mirenzi, Chief of Research and Communications. The day covers assessment, classification, and treatment pathways, taught by the people who do this every day.

If you have been looking to deepen your scoliosis knowledge, we hope to see you there. Register today via the link in bio.

What happens to a child’s scoliosis curve when you follow them for nearly nine years? That is exactly what our latest research set out to find out.

We followed children diagnosed with scoliosis before the age of ten, tracking how their curves changed over almost a decade of care. By the end, their curves were on average 21.5 degrees smaller than when they started. And a year after treatment ended, all four curves were still smaller than when they first came in.

This matters because children diagnosed with scoliosis at a young age are often in a difficult spot. They are too young to fit neatly into the research that exists for teenagers, and there is very little guidance on what non-surgical care should look like for them. Every study that looks at this group brings us closer to better answers for the families who need them most.

Scoliosis can run in families. Here is why that matters for your child.

Research shows that more than half of people diagnosed with idiopathic scoliosis have at least one relative who also has it. Studies suggest that having a family history may be linked to larger curves at diagnosis. Scoliosis does not always announce itself early, which is exactly why children with a family history benefit from being screened before puberty begins, when curves are still small and more options are available.

If scoliosis is part of your family's story, an assessment is a simple and important step. Book one today by calling our clinic or visiting our website.

Research on non-surgical treatment for juvenile idiopathic scoliosis is rare. So our team looked closer.

Our latest study, published in the Q1 journal Children, examines long-term bracing outcomes in children with juvenile idiopathic scoliosis, a group where clinical guidelines and evidence have historically been very limited. Four patients were followed for an average of nearly nine years, giving us a longer view than most studies in this space are able to provide.

A huge thank you to Rose Mirenzi, Dr. Juan du Plessis, Dr. Jeb McAviney, Nora-Lee Doueihi, Joanna Liu, and Paul Oakley for contributing this research to the global scoliosis community.

Most people associate scoliosis with teenagers. But for many adults, it is something that develops later in life for the first time, and it often goes unrecognised.

Degenerative scoliosis is driven by natural age-related changes in the spine. As posture and balance shift together over time, the risk of a fall can quietly increase in ways that are easy to attribute to ageing rather than something that can actually be addressed.

If you have an older loved one whose posture has been changing, this one is worth a share. And if you have questions about degenerative scoliosis, give our clinic a call or visit our website to book an appointment.

ScoliCare offers a free, confidential case review service to help you understand a scoliosis or kyphosis case better.

Patients can submit their own X-rays directly, and health professionals can upload a patient's X-rays and case history through our health professional portal. Eeither way, our clinical team reviews it and follows up with recommendations.

Please note that we only review scoliosis or kyphosis X-rays specifically, we're not able to assess imaging reports alone or X-rays for unrelated conditions.

Visit our website or tap the link in our bio to submit a case. Free, confidential, and no cost either way.

A rounded upper back and hyperkyphosis are not the same thing, and knowing the difference changes what needs to happen next.

Postural rounding comes from sustained slouching and does not involve any actual change in the spine's shape. Structural kyphosis does, and it can develop during the teenage years or later in life, often starting with changes in the lower back and pelvis that cause the upper body to compensate.
