Sc.,RMT RM1' RMT B Si IIMi' 1 have a lateral curvature in my spine. Is this serious? IA scohiosis is any lateral (lefi or rtght) curvature of the cervical, tho- racic or lumbar spine. A scoliosis may be structural or functional. IStructural scoliosis ts a connective tissue or bony change in thse ver- tebral column. The majority of these cases have no known cause, bat pathtc disease, (such as polio or cerebral palsy) injury, or joint degen- eration. Functional or postural scoliosis is a muscular tmbalance where thse curves can he straightened out or reversed. It may be diagnosed if thse curvalure changes or dtsappears when the client bends forward or to the side. This condition is caused by soft ttssue dysfuncîion, as a resuit of trauma, injury or disc lesion. Most functional cases are atrihutable to occupationally-related asymmetric posture which will translate into muscular changes - shontening of muscles on one stde of lIse spine, creating a convexity on the oppostte stde. Functional scoliosîs ts a reversible benign condition, but because it is assoctated with muscular contractures and spasm, il can bc painful. It can be corrected with deep issue massage on tIse shortened muscles and remedia] exerctses designed by the therapist. The clients postural habits or occupational postural stresses would be evaluaîed and corrected. Structural cases are classifted by the degree of curvature and rotation of tIse spine. The conditton is progressive wtth severe cases character- ized by advanced joint detertoraton, decreased lung capacitîy and decreased lite espectancy. The focus of treaimenis wîth a structural scoltosis wîll be on maîntaînîng tissae health. Generall. a structural scoltosis needs long-îeruî maintenance (once a week for years) whereas a less severe scolio',îs that is correciatite should be treaîed frequenîi5 at ftrst then reducing trealment frequency as the client takes over with self-care esercîses.
