What is Spinal Orthotics?

Spinal orthotics is a means used to help restore healthy spinal curvatures. Your spine naturally has optimal curvatures which act as a shock absorber helping to reduce day to day physical joint stress.

With the advancement of modern technology and more sedentary lifestyles, these curves can start to shift over time. These shifts can start to create problems over time such as muscle aches, muscle tightness, headaches, nerve compression, poor function and spinal damage. This happens as long term shifts in the spine start to create unnecessary pressure and start to create compensation patterns.

Once these misalignments are identified, spinal orthotics can be used to restore and improve spinal alignment and posture. Spinal orthotics is made out of firm foam which is shaped to the spines natural alignments, by using spinal orthotics in the correct manner, it helps to lengthen out ligaments, reduce muscle tension and restore normal curvatures of the spine.

What Conditions does Spinal Orthtotics Treat?

Spinal orthotics can treat a number of conditions as most spinal symptoms stem from dysfunction and misalignment of the spine. For example, someone who hunches could have tight shoulder muscles, headaches, numbness from cervical compression, etc. These symptoms are caused by prolonged stress to the area due to the postural change.

Spinal orthotics can help with:

Neck shoulder pain
Headaches
Numbness
Spinal Degeneration
Muscle tightness
Scoliosis
Slipped disc
Postural concerns

Patient case study

Joey is a 23 year old female who was diagnosed with a Scoliosis at the age of 14. Her scoliosis on X-ray assessment measured out to be 32 degrees. She suffers from neck and lower back aches as result of the scoliosis. Here we have her on a Scoliosis orthotic which mirror images her curve, whilst implementing scapula movement to stabilise finer skeletal muscles.

Visited Dr Jason on 6th March 2022 due to acute back pain where I cannot even stand, sit, sleep and walk properly. During my first visit I had to borrow my mom’s walking stick in order to walk, and I needed someone to help me up when I was sitting down. After the first 2 sessions, my pain eased greatly and I can sit/sleep better and I can walk freely without the help of the walking stick. After 9 sessions with Dr Jason, I can say that everything is pretty much well and I’m back to my usual self. So thankful towards Dr Jason!

Live Well Chiropractic, from front desk staff to the Doctors everyone is so welcoming and accommodating. Service is impeccable and staffs were on point every time I drop by to visit. Booking appointment was a breeze because of the WhatsApp function they have which made communication seamless. My chiropractor was Dr. Kenney. One I would recommend besides Dr Jessie. Attention to detail and precise with all the adjustments. I will definitely go back to them for spine health and any injuries related. Thank you for taking care of me.

Dr Jason is very experienced and i trust him to treat my condition which has improved tremendously over the past 9 months. I have multiple disc degeneration causing pins and needles with my fingers. Seeing him regularly helps to keep my neck, spine in good condition, alleviating symptoms that i used to face.

I woke up one morning (4 years ago) in pain and unable to turn my neck, after sleeping in a bad posture. Usually this takes 1-2 weeks to recover on its own. Desperate and in so much discomfort, I decided to give Chiropractic a try, and visited Dr Jason (now in Live Well Chiropractic). To my surprise, all it took was just one treatment from him and I had instant relief! Ever since, I have been regularly going to Dr Jason for the past 4 years. The frequencies of my bad neck aches lessened significantly and my posture has also improved tremendously. Friendly, very experienced, reliable and most importantly effective! I will definitely recommend Dr Jason to anyone who wants to give Chiropractic a try and I am convinced that you will be the next one giving him a great testimony like myself 😊

I have been going to chiro with Dr Jason for more than 8 years, from treatment stage to maintenance stage now. I was in really bad shape, the pain in my lower back was so severe that I couldn’t even sit for more than 5 minutes without feeling pain as my protruding disc was pressing on my nerves. I tried TCM treatments and physiotherapy. These treatments didn’t work for me. I am grateful that I found Dr Jason. He was friendly and patient, taking the time to understand my condition, saw my x-rays and MRI scan. He told me that my condition could be improved. No hard selling. For the first few weeks, I had to go for treatments more regularly. My condition improved very quickly that the number of times I needed to go for treatments every week reduced. Now, I no longer feel pain when I sit for long periods of time! He is the number 1 doctor that I go to for any body pain. When my wrist and elbow hurt, he could feel the slightest misalignments and adjusted them back in place for me. Thank you Dr Jason! :)
