Here at ACC Chiropractic Clinic – A member of FV Group and Thomson Medical Singapore, we prioritize staying at the forefront of advancements in patient care. Recently, we hosted a comprehensive training session for our rehabilitation therapists, focusing on scoliosis screenings and the various types of scoliosis.
According to the Vietnam Ministry of Health, approximately 0.5 to 1% of the Vietnamese population suffers from scoliosis, a spinal deformity. To address this growing concern, ACC Chiropractic Clinic regularly organizes intensive training programs on scoliosis. These sessions equip rehabilitation therapists with the latest knowledge and techniques to identify various forms of scoliosis, a condition characterized by spinal imbalance.
The comprehensive training program encompasses:
- Advanced screening methods: Our therapists learned about the most up-to-date techniques for scoliosis detection, including physical examinations and specialized tools like scoliometers and spinal imaging analysis.
- Identifying different types of scoliosis: The training delved into the specific characteristics of various scoliosis types, such as idiopathic, congenital, and neuromuscular scoliosis, and syndromic scoliosis (associated with Marfan syndrome, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, neurofibromatosis, Prader-Willi syndrome, arthrogryposis syndrome, Riley-Day syndrome, etc.). Understanding these variations enables more accurate diagnosis and tailored treatment plans.
- Early intervention strategies: Early detection of scoliosis is crucial for managing the condition and preventing potential complications. The training emphasized the importance of early intervention and the different treatment options available.
By actively participating in such training sessions, our rehabilitation therapists enhance their skills and ensure they can provide the highest quality of care for patients with potential or diagnosed scoliosis.
If you or someone you know is concerned about scoliosis, don’t hesitate to schedule an appointment at ACC Chiropractic Clinic today. Our team of experienced doctors and rehabilitation therapists will provide a comprehensive evaluation and discuss safe and effective treatment options that combine chiropractic care with physiotherapy and rehabilitation. This non-invasive approach avoids the need for medication or surgery.
