  • Resumen

  • Podcast Show Notes: Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda Episode Title: What is Rotoscoliosis? Understanding Rotation in Scoliosis Episode Summary: Many patients diagnosed with scoliosis are told they have rotoscoliosis, but what does that really mean? In this episode of Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda, we break down the three-dimensional nature of scoliosis, how rotation impacts the spine, and why some cases have more severe twisting than others. Dr. Nalda also discusses the challenges of measuring spinal rotation, common symptoms of rotoscoliosis, and the best treatment strategies to address all three dimensions of the condition—bending, translation, and rotation—for the best long-term outcomes. Key Topics Covered: ✅ What is Rotoscoliosis? – A type of scoliosis where spinal rotation is more pronounced. ✅ Understanding the Three-Dimensional Nature of Scoliosis: Bending (Sideways Curve) – The most commonly recognized scoliosis feature. Rotation (Twisting of the Spine) – Causes rib and posture asymmetries. Translation (Shifting of the Spine) – Further misaligns posture and gait. ✅ How Does Rotation Impact Scoliosis? Rotation almost always occurs into the concavity of the curve. The larger the curve, the greater the degree of rotation in most cases. More rotation = more complexity in treatment and posture correction. ✅ Why Rotation is Difficult to Measure: Unlike Cobb angle (which measures curve severity), rotation is difficult to quantify accurately. Current assessments rely on visual evaluation rather than precise measurements. ✅ Symptoms of Rotoscoliosis: Uneven hips, shoulders, rib arches, and waist. Clothes not fitting properly due to asymmetrical body structure. Gait and coordination changes caused by spinal misalignment. ✅ Best Treatment Approach for Rotoscoliosis: Comprehensive, 3D-focused scoliosis care that addresses bending, translation, and rotation. Specialized therapy, traction, exercises, and bracing to reduce spinal misalignment. Why focusing only on curve reduction without addressing rotation can lead to instability in long-term correction. Key Takeaways: ➡️ Rotoscoliosis is simply scoliosis with a higher degree of rotation—making treatment more complex but manageable.➡️ Rotation often develops first, before the curve, making early detection crucial.➡️ Scoliosis treatment must address all three dimensions of the condition to achieve lasting correction.➡️ At Scoliosis Reduction Center, we offer specialized programs designed to correct bending, translation, and rotation for the best possible results.
