Treatment Options
Whether you are young or an adult, the earlier scoliosis is detected the more effective treatment will be, helping to reduce the potential risk for progression and the need for surgery.

Ultrasound-Guided Dry Needling
Ultrasound-guided dry needling is an advanced therapeutic technique used to treat musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. This method combines traditional dry needling with the precision of ultrasound imaging, allowing practitioners to target specific areas with greater accuracy. Dry needling involves inserting fine needles into trigger points—tight bands of muscle fibers that can cause pain and dysfunction. When performed under ultrasound guidance, the practitioner can visualize the needle's path and ensure precise placement, which enhances the treatment's efficacy.
Functional and Kinetic Treatment with Rehabilitation (FAKTR)
Is a comprehensive treatment approach used primarily by chiropractors, physical therapists, and other manual therapists to address musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. FAKTR integrates various therapeutic techniques to improve functional movement, reduce pain, and enhance performance.
The main components of FAKTR include
Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM)
Using specialized tools to detect and treat areas of soft tissue fibrosis, chronic inflammation, or degeneration. The tools help to break down scar tissue and fascial restrictions, promoting healing and improving tissue elasticity.
Functional Movements
Patients perform specific functional movements or exercises that replicate activities of daily living or sport-specific motions. This helps to identify and treat dysfunctional movement patterns that contribute to pain or injury.
Kinetic Chain Approach
FAKTR considers the entire kinetic chain (the interconnected system of muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints) rather than focusing solely on the area of pain. This holistic approach ensures that treatment addresses the root cause of dysfunction, not just the symptoms.
Rehabilitation Exercises
Incorporating targeted exercises to strengthen and stabilize the affected areas, improve range of motion, and enhance overall functional performance.
Dynamic Treatment
FAKTR techniques are often applied while the patient is in motion, performing specific activities or exercises. This dynamic treatment approach helps to re-train the nervous system and reinforce proper movement patterns in real-time.
Discover our Corrective Exercises For Disc-bulge
Our tailored program, known as the Scientific Exercise Approach to Scoliosis (SEAS), is designed for each patient based on their unique curve type.
