Personalized scoliosis treatment to improve posture and reduce pain

Diagnosed with scoliosis in her teens, this adult patient remained active for decades — until her 40s, when severe back pain began to limit her movement. The COVID-19 pandemic further disrupted access to care, leading to a decline in spinal health and quality of life.

With limited local treatment options and a lengthy waitlist for surgical care, she began searching for an integrated, proactive approach to managing scoliosis.

That search led her to Complete Balance Health Centre (CBHC), where our team provided evidence-based and comprehensive scoliosis care tailored to her unique needs.

Over the course of a year, our team focused on improving her spine’s flexibility, ensuring the best possible surgical outcome. Post-surgery, we assisted with rehab and realignment — all essential components to prepare the body for optimal surgical outcomes when correction becomes necessary.

After undergoing corrective scoliosis surgery abroad, she returned to CBHC for post-surgical rehabilitation. With our continued support in active rehab postural realignment, and neuromuscular control, helping her restore function and confidence step by step. Today, she regained the ability to work full days, exercise regularly, and even reintroduce adventurous activities into her life.

While not completely pain-free, she now describes her condition as mere “discomfort” — managing discomfort with confidence and reclaiming a lifestyle she once feared lost.

She found practitioners understood her. Our approach is built to support the whole person — physically, emotionally, and functionally.

When her teenage daughter began struggling with scoliosis, one devoted mother embarked on a determined search for effective, compassionate care. Their journey had already led them through one clinic, but it left them feeling that something important was missing — the mother knew there had to be a better solution out there.

Eventually, they arrived at Complete Balance Health Centre (CBHC). From their very first visit, the atmosphere felt different — warm, welcoming, and organized. It was a setting where questions were met with thoughtful answers and concerns were heard without judgment.

Their care team at CBHC prioritized open communication, collaborative decision-making, and individualized treatment planning. The mother found reassurance in the clinical knowledge and professionalism of the practitioners, while her daughter responded positively to the approachable and encouraging environment.

One team member, in particular, provided scoliosis specific exercise that made each session feel engaging and uplifting — helping the young patient build not only physical strength, but also confidence and motivation.

As weeks turned into months, the daughter’s progress became clear, and the mother began to feel the weight of worry slowly lifting. What had begun as a clinical search evolved into something more meaningful – they had found not just a clinic, but a team of allies in their battle against scoliosis.

In a large city with no shortage of health practitioners, one adult scoliosis patient found herself overwhelmed and discouraged. Living with advanced scoliosis and a history of spinal surgery in her youth, she began a determined search for care that could address her evolving needs — physically and emotionally.

Her journey led her through several specialized clinics, each offering something different but none quite right. At one practice, she struggled with fragmented care due to poor communication between providers. Another offered high-quality therapy but at a cost that made consistent treatment unsustainable. A third lacked the supportive environment she needed, and elsewhere, she simply didn’t feel safe or heard.

Eventually, she arrived at Complete Balance Health Centre (CBHC), where the care model emphasized continuity, personalization, and a whole-person approach to scoliosis management. Sessions were delivered one-on-one, with a focus on post-surgical spine care, functional movement, and emotional support.

Here, she experienced not just clinical improvement, but also a sense of empowerment. The structured program helped her rebuild strength and alignment while reducing the emotional strain of chronic pain. Affordable care options made it possible for her to stay consistent and engaged in her recovery plan. Today, she continues to build on her progress — physically more resilient and emotionally grounded. Her case reflects the core of CBHC’s mission: to deliver focused, integrative care that adapts to the complex needs of people living with scoliosis at every stage of life.

Three years ago, one patient’s life was defined by chronic pain and limited mobility. With persistent shoulder discomfort and unrelenting back pain, daily tasks became difficult — and hope for lasting relief felt distant.

In late 2020, he came to Complete Balance Health Centre (CBHC) in search of a new direction. His care began with a focus on postural alignment and spinal function, which helped alleviate long-standing tension in both the back and shoulder.

As the team worked together, it became clear that recovery would require more than just physical therapy. Through careful assessment and collaborative insight, a previously undetected postural imbalance involving the shoulder blade was identified — one that had been contributing to both breathing issues and muscular strain.

With integrative care that included scoliosis specific therapeutic exercises, acupuncture, and naturopathic support, his healing began to accelerate. Gradually, symptoms that once felt permanent began to ease. Strength returned. Breathing improved. Hope resurfaced.

Today, he moves with confidence, having regained physical function and a renewed sense of energy and well-being. His story reflects CBHC’s commitment to treating the whole person — with compassion, expertise, and an approach that adapts to the complex nature of chronic pain.

A young adult diagnosed with scoliosis a few years ago was initially advised to stay active using standard gym equipment. Although the spinal curves weren’t considered severe at the time, symptoms gradually worsened — including recurring pain and back strain from daily activities.

Seeking a more tailored solution, the patient came to Complete Balance Health Centre (CBHC). The care team conducted a thorough assessment to identify how structural imbalances were contributing to discomfort and functional challenges.

The core of the treatment plan centered on scoliosis-specific exercises — targeted movements designed to address the unique postural and muscular imbalances that scoliosis presents. These exercises were delivered through one-on-one sessions, with a strong focus on alignment, corrective breathing, neuromuscular re-education, and spinal stabilization.

Education played a key role, helping the patient understand how certain conventional fitness routines, although well-intentioned, can unintentionally reinforce spinal misalignments when scoliosis-specific factors are not considered.

In addition to exercise-based care, the plan included postural retraining strategies and — where appropriate — the use of a nighttime brace to support alignment during rest. Gentle manual therapy and guided home programming ensured continuity of care outside the clinic.

Over time, the patient reported reduced discomfort, improved spinal control, and greater confidence in movement. By incorporating scoliosis-specific strategies into both functional tasks and recreational activity, the patient regained strength and improved overall body awareness.

This case illustrates how a customized, exercise-focused approach — grounded in scoliosis-specific principles and supported by postural tools like bracing (ScoliBrace) — can empower individuals to move, feel, and live better with scoliosis.
