Adolescence is a critical stage of growth and development, and it is also the period when various changes in the body are most significant. However, at this important stage of development, some adolescents may experience scoliosis problems, but in general, early detection and intervention can usually lead to a better prognosis.
Case Study
Twelve-year-old Xiao Huang was spotted by his parents two months ago with his body tilted and his back uneven, an abnormal phenomenon that aroused the alarm of his family. After an X-ray examination at the hospital, the results showed that Xiao Huang had scoliosis. Subsequently, in May of this year, Xiao Huang's family came to Longjikang to seek professional treatment.
Let's talk about the basic situation of Xiao Huang first:
On the postural examination, the left rib cage protrudes slightly forward, the right shoulder is high, the midline of the torso is deviated to the left, the hip is shifted to the right, and the right leg is slightly longer. The dorsal bulge at the left thoracolumbar junction has an ATR of 11 degrees. X-rays showed that L1 was shifted to the left and the Cobb angle was ≈ 31 degrees.
Considering that Xiao Huang has just entered puberty and is at the peak of growth and development, he needs to improve his body surface through bracing and targeted gymnastics training. Xiao Huang was very cooperative with the treatment, and received intensive therapy training in the outpatient clinic for three consecutive days, including manual therapy and movement training every day, and also customized insoles and GBW braces to assist in correction.
In particular, Xiao Huang also participated in a two-day intensive training class, with 6 hours of Schross movement training every day. The results of Xiao Huang's training are gratifying, the razor back has been reduced from 11 degrees to 8 degrees, and the torso midline and body surface have improved to a certain extent.

Doctor concludes
This case fully demonstrates that adolescent scoliosis patients can achieve significant therapeutic results by actively cooperating with treatment and exercise, even after just 2 days of intensive training, during the peak period of development. For teenagers who are sensitive to their appearance, this improvement not only boosts their self-confidence, but also lays a solid foundation for their healthy growth in the future.
