 (EMAILWIRE.COM, October 17, 2011 ) PASADENA, CALIFORNIA - In honor of National Physical Therapy Month this October, Cesar Lua, a certified pedorthist and owner of Novis Shoes, explained how orthotic shoes and inserts can benefit persons with scoliosis in adjustment of balance in the body.
Novis Shoes of Pasadena, California, manufactures elevator lift shoes to help ease pain and discomfort often experienced by scoliosis patients.
"The root cause of scoliosis is largely unspecified, but aches and pain suffered by a person with scoliosis can be debilitating," said Lua. "Relief on spine pressure can be provided with orthopedic shoe lifts. Discomfort can be reduced and adaptations in posture may occur."
Severe symptoms usually require the care of an orthopedic surgeon, however scoliosis cases with less acute symptoms can be prescribed alternate options such as physical therapy and orthopedic shoe lifts. A common identifying trait is a curve in the spine, sometimes with noticeable unevenness in the waist, hips and shoulders.
Curvature of the spine, most commonly in an "S" or "C" shape, places more stress on joints due to uneven stretching and compression of the sides, said Lua. With age, a scoliosis patient will have more deterioration on their spine than a healthy patient. This can result in spinal arthritis and in more acute cases constricted lungs which strains breathing for the patient.
"Posture can be corrected with something as simple as arch support shoes that include a lift," said Lua. "The body's skeletal system is supported by the feet. When weight distribution is correctly balanced on the feet through orthotic inserts, the spine will gradually adjust."
Varying leg lengths, resulting in secondary scoliosis, is often remedied by doctors through the use of lift shoes which can raise the lowest hip to the same position as the higher level hip. This helps to balance the body. Migraine headaches, TMJ discomfort, skeletal and muscular maladies can benefit from proper support.
