Laser Treatment for Idiopathic Scoliosis

Idiopathic scoliosis is one of three kinds of scoliosis that cause the spine to curve abnormally. The most prevalent kind of scoliosis is idiopathic scoliosis. It runs in families and affects females eight times more frequently than boys.

“Idiopathic” means there is no definite cause. Still, adolescent idiopathic scoliosis probably results from a combination of genetic and environmental factors.

According to research, aberrant spine curvature may be caused by hormonal issues, improper bone or muscle development, nervous system disorders, or other unknown reasons.

These are the most common symptoms recorded for this disease:

• Uneven shoulders.
• One-shoulder blade appears more prominent than the other.
• Uneven waist.
• One hip is higher than the other.
• One side of the rib cage jutting forward.
• A prominence on one side of the back when bending forward.

There is no cure for scoliosis, but the symptoms can be reduced. Here, Laser therapy has successfully intervened. The latter has been proved to increase microcirculation to damaged tissue, helping speed recovery by reducing swelling and decreasing pain during and after the treatment.

Based on these findings, SIFLASER developed the Physiotherapy 980nm Diode Laser System LASER-1.41, which is frequently used by chiropractic scoliosis experts due to its great efficacy in detecting the condition and reducing its negative effects.

Using the LASER-1.41 laser machine, the diagnosis process goes as follows. An (SHV) subjective vertical perception test can be performed in a darkened, silent and empty room. The scoliosis specialist can put the laser line as deviated from vertical, then turn it to vertical slowly and ask the patient to find true earth vertical. Patients are expected to tell “stop” when they locate the angle that hurts for them.

In terms of therapy, unlike many pharmaceutical therapies that mask pain or simply address the symptoms of the disease, Laser Therapy with LASER-1.41 addresses the underlying ailment or pathology to encourage healing. This implies that Idiopathic Scoliosis therapy will be effective and provide long-term benefits.

Most cases of scoliosis, especially mild ones, are not life-threatening. However, severe cases of scoliosis can cause the spine to curve so much that the chest cavity is constricted and there lies the real danger.

Fortunately, laser treatment has been established to give accurate and effective therapeutic services in order to correctly identify and actively alleviate the symptoms of such illnesses. Patients with Idiopathic Scoliosis can be comforted on this premise, because LASER-1.41 is particularly developed to give them with an appropriate treatment that will progressively restore their spine’s natural physical structure and function.
