Scoliosis Care, Scolibrace and SEAS

What is Scoliosis?

Our team has been trained to help the over 50% of Americans over the age of 55 years old who suffer from weakening of the spine. When the spine collapses as you age it is called Degenerative Scoliosis.   (Check if you have scoliosis by taking this simple test.) 

The team at Aligned Life Medical has received training through ISICO in Italy to perform specific scoliosis exercises (SEAS) that help keep the spine strong. This is important because the spine itself holds the nerves that keep all your body parts connected to the brain where they get their messages to function. We are also certified to prescribe Scolibrace which is a spinal orthotic that helps people with scoliosis.

What is the SRS-22r questionnaire?

The SRS-22r questionnaire is a tool designed to objectively measure quality of life outcomes of spinal deformity patients. It helps inform the treating clinician about the patient’s current health status, which areas to focus on improving, and provides a baseline to measure future results against.

It was developed by the Scoliosis Research Society, validated in the index medicus, and is used by many clinics and institutions treating scoliosis and other spinal deformities.

Until now, this form needed to be completed by hand and manually scored to calculate the patient’s results – taking considerable time and resources.

ScoliCare has taken this traditional questionnaire and developed it further as an online tool.
