Scoliosis Treatment for Tiani from Sri Lanka

Scoliosis SOS Patients
Here at Scoliosis SOS, we’ve treated people from
all over the world
– scoliosis sufferers of all ages have come from many, many different countries to receive non-surgical scoliosis treatment at our clinic in London. One of those countries is Sri Lanka, and one of our recent patients was the lovely 11-year-old Tiani Perera. This is her story.
Tiani’s Story: Young Scoliosis Patient from Sri Lanka
In many cases, overseas patients come to us when the only option they’ve been given is
spinal fusion surgery
. We offer an alternative to this, and so patients travel from far and wide to receive treatment here at the Scoliosis SOS Clinic. This was the case with Tiani, and when she was offered surgical treatment in Sri Lanka, she decided instead to come and visit us in London. Tiani was diagnosed with scoliosis at home in Sri Lanka in 2015. The first indication that she had scoliosis was that her shoulders were not level; furthermore, when she bent over (see
Adam’s forward bend test
), a small hump was visible below her right shoulder blade. When Tiani’s parents noticed these symptoms, they took her to the doctor, who confirmed her spinal curvature and stated that surgery was the only viable treatment option. However, Tiani was too young for surgery at the time (since her body was still growing), and so she had to
wear a brace
first. Due to the severity of Tiani’s condition, she struggled to sit comfortably in school and would often feel pain in her back before going to bed at night. She didn’t want to have surgery, and so when her family were told about
Scoliosis SOS
and our highly effective non-surgical treatment methods, they decided to make the 11-hour trip to our clinic in London. Tiani underwent a 4-week ScolioGold treatment course and was very pleased with the results. Her rotation improved by eight degrees, she was no longer in pain, and she found that her shoulders and hips had become realigned again.
Tiani is one of the many scoliosis sufferers from other countries that we have treated here at the Scoliosis SOS Clinic. If you would like to learn more about our ScolioGold courses,
