Case 31 – Long-Standing Scoliosis With Sustained Structural Improvement

A client in their early thirties presented with spinal scoliosis that had been present for over 30 years. Family members were trained in manual manipulation, and regular adjustments had been used for symptom relief. While these sessions temporarily reduced discomfort, the effects did not last, and treatment was required every one to two weeks to manage ongoing shoulder and lower back tension.

Postural reassessment showing sustained spinal alignment in a client with long-standing scoliosis, maintained nine months after movement-based rehabilitation without ongoing manual adjustments.

After several targeted sessions focusing on spinal alignment, load distribution, and movement control, visible changes in spinal posture were observed. Follow-up assessment nine months later confirmed that the spinal alignment had been maintained without further manual manipulation. The client reported no longer needing regular adjustments and experienced a significant reduction in recurrent shoulder and lower back discomfort during daily activities.
