Managing Adult Scoliosis & Kyphosis

Adults and seniors with diagnoses like Scoliosis and Kyphosis are experiencing positive outcomes through physiotherapy, particularly when degenerative changes, osteoporosis, or osteoarthritis are also present. The mature adult spine can be less flexible and demands a targeted focus on enhancing body mechanics, posture, and daily movement. Treatment objectives for adults revolve around these aspects, with the correction of scoliotic posture being pivotal to impede structural progression and alleviate pain. Conservative treatments, aiming to enhance scoliosis-related body appearance, hold significance across age groups, significantly impacting quality of life and emphasizing the aesthetic dimension. This physiotherapy approach is indispensable in effectively managing spinal asymmetries.

Grief Self-Care

Death grief is a deeply personal experience, and understanding the 7 stages can aid in healing after loss. Grief is a complex response to the death of a loved one, involving emotional, cognitive, and physical reactions. The 7 stages, as proposed by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, include shock and denial, pain and guilt, anger and bargaining, depression, reflection, and loneliness, an upward turn, reconstruction and working through, and acceptance and hope. Grief isn’t a linear process and varies between individuals. Seeking support and professional help is vital. Self-care and time play essential roles in healing and acceptance, allowing individuals to find meaning and hope again.

Acupuncture for Anxiety

If you are struggling with anxiety, acupuncture can be a game-changer. Researchers found that just eight weeks of acupuncture treatments significantly reduced symptoms of a generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). Acupuncture can help relieve anxiety symptoms by: reducing stress hormones like cortisol; increasing levels of serotonin, the happy hormone; regulating the autonomic nervous system; and calming the mind and promoting relaxation. Acupuncture has been used for centuries as a traditional Chinese medicine to treat various ailments. Most patients find their acupuncture visits extremely therapeutic, and some even fall asleep during the session. If you’re looking for a natural way to seek relief, give us a call today to schedule an appointment.
