Custom Orthotics & Shoe Lifts—When Do They Help Scoliosis?

Foot orthotics and shoe lifts are sometimes recommended for people with scoliosis, but they are not a universal solution. Used in the right cases, they can reduce pain and improve alignment; used indiscriminately, they add cost without benefit.

Leg Length Difference & Pelvic Tilt

Dorsi Spinal Institute assesses whether there is a true or functional leg length difference contributing to pelvic tilt. In some cases, a carefully measured lift on one side can help rebalance the pelvis and ease strain on the spine.

Foot Mechanics & Gait

We evaluate:

• Flat feet or high arches.
• Patterns of pronation or supination.
• How the foot strike and push‑off affect the chain from ankle to spine.

Custom orthotics may be used to improve comfort and movement efficiency.

When Orthotics Are Not Indicated

Orthotics or lifts are not prescribed simply because a person has scoliosis. If they do not clearly improve symptoms or alignment, we avoid long‑term use.

Next Steps

If you have scoliosis and suspect your feet or leg length are adding to discomfort, Dorsi can perform a full gait and lower‑limb assessment to see whether custom orthotics are worthwhile.

Advanced Differential Diagnosis—When Back Pain Isn’t the Curve

Not all back pain in someone with scoliosis is caused by the curve. Focusing only on the curve can allow other important diagnoses to be missed. A careful differential diagnosis protects patients from inappropriate or incomplete treatment.

Other Common Pain Sources

In both children and adults, pain may be driven by:

• Muscle strain or ligament sprain.
• Disc problems such as herniation.
• Facet joint arthritis.
• Hip, knee, or sacroiliac joint issues.

Serious but Less Common Causes

Dorsi clinicians also remain alert for:

• Infections or inflammatory conditions.
• Fractures, especially in osteoporotic patients.
• Tumours or other rare spinal pathologies.

Dorsi’s Assessment Approach

We combine thorough history, targeted examination, and appropriate imaging or blood tests to distinguish curve‑related symptoms from other problems—often in partnership with GPs and hospital specialists.

Next Steps

If your scoliosis is being blamed for all your back pain without a detailed work‑up, Dorsi Spinal Institute can provide a fresh assessment to ensure nothing important has been overlooked.

Digital Tools & Home Tech—Monitoring Scoliosis Between Visits

Modern home technology allows much of scoliosis monitoring and support to happen outside the clinic. When used correctly, these tools complement—not replace—professional care.

Types of Home Tech

Dorsi recommends or supports:

• Apps for tracking brace hours, exercises, and symptoms.
• Secure portals for uploading posture photos or videos.
• Wearables that monitor activity and, in some cases, posture.

Benefits of Digital Monitoring

These tools can:

• Increase adherence through reminders and feedback.
• Help clinicians spot concerning trends earlier.
• Reduce unnecessary travel while keeping care personalised.

Data Privacy & Boundaries

Dorsi ensures that any digital solution respects privacy, uses secure platforms, and doesn’t demand constant monitoring that becomes stressful or intrusive.

Next Steps

If you’d like to use technology to support your scoliosis treatment, Dorsi Spinal Institute can suggest suitable apps and explain how to integrate them into your care plan.

Practitioner Guide—Recognising & Referring Scoliosis in Primary Care

Primary care clinicians are often the first to spot scoliosis—or to be asked about uneven shoulders or back pain. Rapid, appropriate referral can dramatically influence outcomes.

Key Recognition Points

Primary care practitioners should be alert to:

• Visible asymmetry (shoulders, waist, ribs).
• Positive forward bend (Adams) test.
• Growth spurts and family history in adolescents.

Urgent vs Routine Referral

Urgent referral is warranted if:

• There are neurological red flags (weakness, bladder/bowel changes).
• Pain is severe, unexplained, or systemic signs are present.

Routine but timely referral is appropriate for suspected structural curves in growing children.

Working with Dorsi

Dorsi Spinal Institute offers clear referral pathways, rapid assessments, and detailed feedback to referrers, helping embed best practice in community settings.

Next Steps

Clinicians wanting clear, practical scoliosis recognition and referral guidelines can partner with Dorsi for protocols, teaching sessions, and case discussions.

Teens, Social Growth & Scoliosis—Groups, Mentors & Resilience

Social growth in adolescence depends on feeling connected and understood. Scoliosis should not isolate teens from their peers or their own potential.

Peer Groups & Mentors

Dorsi Spinal Institute facilitates:

• Group sessions for brace wearers and post-surgical teens.
• Informal mentorship between older and younger patients.
• Opportunities to share experiences safely in person or online.

Skills for Social Confidence

We help teens practice:

• Explaining scoliosis in simple, confident language.
• Setting boundaries around questions or comments.
• Advocating for themselves at school or clubs.

Long-Term Resilience

Through these experiences, many young people develop resilience, empathy, and leadership skills that serve them far beyond their scoliosis journey.

Next Steps

If your teen feels alone or held back by scoliosis, Dorsi can connect them with peers and mentors who show that they are far from alone.

Funding Scoliosis Care—Combining NHS, Insurance & Self-Pay

The financial side of scoliosis care can be stressful. Understanding how NHS services, private insurance, and self‑funded options fit together helps families plan realistically.

NHS Coverage

The NHS typically covers:

• Spinal imaging and consultant appointments.
• Surgical care when indicated.
• Some physiotherapy and basic bracing services.

Private Insurance

Some policies may contribute towards:

• Private consultations and imaging.
• Certain bracing and rehabilitation services.

Dorsi can provide detailed invoices and clinical codes for claims where applicable.

Self-Pay & Payment Plans

For services outside NHS or insurance coverage, Dorsi offers transparent pricing and, where possible, staged payment options.

Next Steps

If you’re unsure how to fund an optimal scoliosis pathway, Dorsi Spinal Institute can help you map costs, explore coverage, and avoid surprises.

Adult Scoliosis Check-Ups—When & Why to Re-Review

Many adults treated for scoliosis in youth, or diagnosed later in life, are unsure how often they should be re-checked. Periodic reviews help prevent small issues from becoming big problems.

Who Should Have Regular Check-Ups?

Dorsi typically recommends periodic review for adults who:

• Have residual curves above a certain size.
• Notice new pain, posture change, or height loss.
• Have risk factors such as osteoporosis or heavy manual work.

What an Adult Review Involves

Reviews may include:

• Updated clinical exam and posture analysis.
• Selective imaging if changes or new symptoms are present.
• Assessment of bone health, strength, and lifestyle factors.

Benefits of Proactive Follow-Up

Early detection of change allows lighter interventions—exercise, ergonomics, bracing—rather than waiting until surgery is the only option.

Next Steps

If it has been years since your last scoliosis review, Dorsi Spinal Institute can provide a comprehensive adult check‑up and practical forward plan.

Appealing Decisions—NHS, DWP & School Scoliosis Support

When requests for imaging, referrals, benefits, or educational support are denied, families often feel stuck. In many cases, well‑structured appeals succeed when the first attempt failed.

Common Appeal Scenarios

Dorsi helps patients appeal:

• Declined imaging or specialist referrals.
• Refusals of disability-related benefits (e.g. PIP).
• Insufficient school or university accommodations.

Building a Strong Appeal

Key elements include:

• Clear medical evidence and functional descriptions.
• Specific examples of daily limitations.
• Consistent documentation from multiple professionals where possible.

Dorsi’s Contribution

We provide tailored letters, structured reports, and, where appropriate, direct communication with decision‑makers to explain clinical realities in non‑technical language.

Next Steps

If a scoliosis‑related request has been turned down, Dorsi Spinal Institute can help you decide whether to appeal and how best to present your case.

Introduction:

Chiropractic care is a natural, non-invasive approach to healthcare that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disorders related to the musculoskeletal and nervous systems. Chiropractors near you can provide relief for various conditions, from common aches and pains to more complex issues. In this blog post, we'll explore some of the most common conditions treated by chiropractors and how they can help you on the path to recovery.

Back Pain:

Back pain is a prevalent issue, with the American Chiropractic Association (ACA) estimating that 80% of the US population will experience it at some point in their lives. Chiropractors are experts in diagnosing and treating back pain, using spinal adjustments and other therapies to reduce pain and restore function.

Neck Pain:

Neck pain can result from poor posture, muscle strain, or injuries such as whiplash. Chiropractors can assess the root cause of neck pain and provide tailored treatments to alleviate discomfort and improve mobility. The ACA highlights that chiropractic care is a safe and effective approach to treating neck pain.

Headaches:

Tension headaches and migraines are common complaints that can significantly impact your quality of life. Chiropractic care can help alleviate headache symptoms by addressing underlying issues, such as tension in the neck muscles or misalignments in the spine. The Mayo Clinic supports chiropractic adjustments as a possible treatment option for headaches.

Sports Injuries:

Athletes and fitness enthusiasts may experience sports injuries, such as strains, sprains, and joint pain. Chiropractors can help with the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of sports-related injuries, often working in conjunction with other healthcare professionals. The American Chiropractic Board of Sports Physicians offers more information on chiropractic care for athletes.

Sciatica:

Sciatica is a condition characterised by pain radiating from the lower back down the leg, caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve. Chiropractors can use various techniques, such as spinal adjustments, massage, and stretching exercises, to relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve and alleviate pain. The Spine-Health website provides additional information on chiropractic treatment for sciatica.

Pregnancy-Related Discomfort:

Pregnancy can cause various physical discomforts, such as back pain, pelvic pain, and sciatica. Chiropractic care can help pregnant women manage these discomforts by addressing spinal misalignments and improving overall function. The International Chiropractic Pediatric Association offers resources on chiropractic care during pregnancy and for children.

Conclusion:

Chiropractors near you can provide relief for a wide range of conditions, from everyday aches and pains to more complex issues. By addressing the root cause of these conditions and promoting overall wellness, chiropractic care can help improve your quality of life. If you're experiencing any of the conditions mentioned above or other musculoskeletal issues, consider reaching out to a chiropractor near you for a consultation.

Introduction: Chiropractic care is a holistic approach to healthcare that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disorders related to the musculoskeletal and nervous systems. In Nottingham, chiropractors are dedicated to helping individuals achieve optimal health and wellness. In this blog post, we'll explore the numerous benefits of chiropractic care and how a Nottingham chiropractor can help you on your journey to better health.

1. Pain Relief: One of the most notable benefits of chiropractic care is pain relief. Chiropractic treatments, such as spinal adjustments and therapeutic massage, can help alleviate pain in various areas of the body, including the back, neck, and joints. A study published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics found that chiropractic care can reduce pain intensity and improve function in patients with chronic low back pain.
2. Improved Mobility and Flexibility: Chiropractic care can help improve mobility and flexibility by addressing joint restrictions and muscle imbalances. Spinal adjustments and other therapies can help restore proper joint function and improve overall range of motion, making daily activities and exercise more comfortable and enjoyable.
3. Enhanced Posture: Poor posture can lead to various health issues, such as neck and back pain, reduced lung capacity, and increased risk of injury. Chiropractic care can help correct postural imbalances by addressing spinal misalignments and providing personalised recommendations on ergonomics and exercise.
4. Headache Relief: Chiropractic care can be an effective approach to treating tension headaches and migraines. By addressing the root cause of headaches, such as tension in the neck muscles or misalignments in the spine, chiropractors can help reduce the frequency and intensity of headache episodes.
5. Injury Prevention and Sports Performance: Chiropractic care can help prevent injuries and improve sports performance by promoting proper joint function, enhancing muscular balance, and improving biomechanics. Athletes of all levels can benefit from chiropractic care to maintain optimal physical health and achieve peak performance.
6. Overall Wellness: Chiropractic care takes a holistic approach to health, focusing on the body as a whole rather than just individual symptoms. By promoting proper nervous system function, encouraging a healthy lifestyle, and addressing underlying imbalances, chiropractic care can contribute to overall wellness and improved quality of life.

Conclusion: A Nottingham chiropractor can provide numerous benefits to individuals seeking a natural, non-invasive approach to healthcare. From pain relief and improved mobility to enhanced posture and overall wellness, chiropractic care can help you achieve your health and wellness goals.
