Newly Released Mini-Documentary Details Identical Twins Scoliosis Exercise-Based Treatment Success

LITITZ, PA, June 11, 2012 (Press-News.org) Dr. Clayton Stitzel (of Lancaster, PA) and Dr. Brian Dovorany, (of Green Bay, WI) have recently released a "mini-documentary" which chronicles an entirely exercised based approach to the treatment of scoliosis. The dramatic successful outcomes could reform the entire scoliosis treatment system in the future if the back exercises for scoliosis approach is adopted universally.

The re-invented exercise treatment for scoliosis video centers around identical twins girls who were both diagnosed with moderate to severe scoliosis as teenagers. Maddie as prescribed a traditional back brace for scoliosis, which her sister, Violet was immediately recommended for spinal scoliosis surgery, because her curvature of the spine was slightly worse. The mini-documentary, entitled "Scoliosis BootCamp", also include interviews the teens mother who provides a sobering and realistic view of the limited treatment options facing scoliosis patients in even today's are of advanced medicine.

Scoliosis occurs when the spine of the back forms a C or an S shaped curve. Scoliosis affects 2 to 3 percent of the population (an estimated 6 million people worldwide) and there is no cure. Scoliosis impacts infants, adolescents, and adults worldwide. The primary age of onset for scoliosis is 10 to 15 years old, and the condition affects more females than males. Females are more likely to progress to a curve magnitude that requires treatment. Scoliosis can impact the quality of life with limited activity, pain, reduced respiratory function or diminished self-esteem.

Drs. Stitzel and Dovoray have been utilizing these new protocols for almost 10 years now and progress has been steady, but often frustratingly slow as times. Dr. Stitzel elaborates, "The current system of scoliosis evaluation and treatment hasn't been re-evaluated in so long that many doctors in the field just accept back bracing or surgery for scoliosis instead of looking for a better way. We are confident mini-documentaries like "Scoliosis BootCamp" will make the current reactive approach to scoliosis treatment obsolete very quickly. Our early stage scoliosis intervention program allows the most at risk idiopathic scoliosis patients to begin treatment before the curve even starts."

Drs. Stitzel and Dovorany have also released a 90 second FLASH presentation explaining how the Scoliscore genetic test and Early Stage Scoliosis Intervention are combined in an effort to "re-invent" the future of scoliosis treatment. "The role of genetics and environment on scoliosis" presentation is available for viewing at http://www.treatingscoliosis.com/early-stage.html.
