Poor Posture Correction & Scoliosis Treatment Singapore
Stand Tall with Elite Spine Centres’ Chiropractic Care!
How are you reading this page right now? Chances are, you are slouched over your device, with your shoulders hunched and rounded in.
Unfortunately, the past few years have seen an increasing number of people develop bad posture.
This trend is only growing with the heavily increased use of personal electronic devices, long hours seated at work, and lack of proper exercise.
When treated early, most instances of degenerative changes to your posture can be alleviated. While bad posture may not cause idiopathic scoliosis, it can worsen the spinal curvature.
If your scoliosis curves excessively, you will sometimes need spinal fusion surgery to correct your spine and alleviate the pain.
Furthermore, people who chronically exhibit poor posture put much more stress on their bodies, making them more prone to injury and pain.
Don’t just take our word for it; listen to this quote from the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA).
“Deviations in the body’s centre of gravity have resulted in intestinal problems, varicose veins, osteoporosis, hip and foot deformities, poor health, decreased quality of life, and a shortened life span.”
In other words, not only does improper posture cause many adverse health risks, but it can shorten your lifespan!
These negative effects on your body may also lead to spinal degeneration as you grow older, which in turn may cause adult scoliosis!
Therefore, good posture is worth devoting more time and effort to maintaining, even if you don’t have any current aches or pains.
And the best way to boost your spinal health is a personalised treatment plan with Elite Spine Centres!

What Is Scoliosis & How Is It Diagnosed?
Scoliosis simply means that the spine curves sideways, usually in an “S” or “C” shape. It can happen for a variety of reasons from genetics and muscle imbalances to long-term posture habits that slowly pull the spine to one side.
In kids and teens, scoliosis often appears during growth spurts, but adults can develop it too. Many adults who come to us for “stiff backs” or “crooked posture” are actually dealing with mild to moderate scoliosis that’s been building up quietly for years.
Finding out if you have scoliosis, isn’t guesswork. When you come to us, we start by talking with you and taking a close look at your body. We’ll check things like shoulder height, how your hips sit, and how your spine moves.
If we need a clearer picture, we might suggest an X-ray to see the spine’s exact alignment. From there, we put together a plan that fits your body, your needs, and your lifestyle.
For example, one of our clients, Marcus, came in worried about a mild back pain that he’d had for a few months, and his GP couldn’t figure out what was causing it. After a quick assessment and X-ray, we confirmed a small scoliosis curve. With special exercises and posture training, he felt so much better after only a few sessions of scoliosis treatment in Singapore.
Our Advanced Approach to Scoliosis Treatment in Singapore
Our programme is different because we don’t just focus on the curve, we focus on the cause. Using our Functional Correction Method (FCM), we integrate modern chiropractic care, physiotherapy techniques, and guided exercises all under one roof.
Our goal isn’t just to make you ‘look straight’, it’s to help your body function better. That’s why so many of our patients report not only standing taller, but also breathing easier, moving smoother, and feeling more confident in their own body again.
Step 1 – Initial Consultation
At Elite Spine Centres, we firmly believe in creating a low-stress, patient-centric environment.
Our Doctor of Chiropractic will review your symptoms and health history in detail to understand better what may be causing your concerns.
We will work with you to address your concerns, ensuring that you understand your condition before proceeding with treatment.
There will be no hard sales or excessively long treatment packages – we want to work with you, not against you!
Step 2 – Spine and Body Examination
Orthopaedic or neurological tests may also be performed if needed at this time. This will allow us to rule out possible underlying causes and obtain a proper diagnosis.
Most of our patients will be able to receive treatment on their first session once any potential safety concerns have been ruled out!
Step 3 – Doctor’s Report and Recommendations
Based on the findings, a customised plan of action will be discussed with you to help you reach your treatment goals.
Compared to the typical approach of symptom management via medication, doctors of chiropractic can deal with the problem right at the root.
That being said, chiropractic is not a miracle cure. In rare events that we cannot help, rest assured that we will help you find the appropriate treatment for your postural condition.
Step 4 – Holistic Chiropractic Treatment
If needed, advanced therapeutic technologies, braces or posture correction tools may be used to complement your healing.
Your comprehensive treatment plan will also involve personalised lifestyle advice and strengthening exercises to improve posture, correct the muscle imbalance, and activate and develop your core muscles for long-term support.
This means our patients are able to achieve more complete recovery in a shorter amount of time than at other centres!
Why Choose a Scoliosis Chiropractor for Treatment?
A scoliosis chiropractor does more than adjust your spine. At Elite Spine Centres, we look at how your spine, muscles, and nerves all work together (or don’t).
Scoliosis isn’t just a curve in your bones, it can affect muscle function, balance, and even how your body moves. A trained chiropractor helps your spine move properly and retrains your muscles to support it.
It’s not about forcing your spine straight. Instead, we use gentle adjustments, exercises, and lifestyle tips to improve your posture and treat the problem.
Our scoliosis treatment in Singapore may include:
- Specific chiropractic adjustments designed for scoliotic curves
- Core strengthening exercises targeting the muscles that support spinal alignment
- Postural retraining to address compensatory patterns
- Breathing exercises (scoliosis can affect rib cage mobility)
- Ergonomic guidance for work and daily activities

The Hidden Link Between Poor Posture & Scoliosis
You might not realise it, but that constant slouch or uneven shoulder height could be more than just bad posture, it could be a sign of scoliosis. Now, before you panic, scoliosis doesn’t always mean a dramatic S-shaped curve like in the pictures you see online. Sometimes, it’s more subtle than that. Maybe one shoulder or hip sits slightly higher than the other.
Poor posture can make scoliosis worse over time, especially if your muscles and joints start getting used to being in that uneven position. The longer you ignore it, the harder it becomes for your body to move the way it’s meant to.
We’ve had patients who came in saying, ‘I just want to fix my posture,’ and after a proper check-up, we found a curvature of the spine that had been missed for years. Once we started addressing that underlying imbalance, not just the visible slouch, they began experiencing meaningful improvements.
Sarah was in her late twenties when she came to us. She was tired of constant back tightness and a subtle lean in her posture. She’d tried posture correctors and online stretches, but nothing seemed to do the trick.
After a full assessment, we found a mild scoliosis curve that had been quietly progressing. We helped her strengthen her core, improve how she moved her spine, and gave her advice on how to sit and stand properly. Within a few months, her back felt lighter, she wasn’t slouching while sitting or standing, and she didn’t need to rely on a back brace anymore.
Stories like Sarah’s are exactly why our scoliosis treatment in Singapore involves more than just looking at the appearance of our patients. Our scoliosis chiropractor will prove to you that a healthy posture can solve a lot of the problems you’re experiencing right now.
It’s Never Too Late (or Too Early) to Address Your Spine
Here’s the good news: whether you’re a parent worried about your teenager’s posture or an adult who’s tired of nagging back pain, it’s never too late (or too early) to start taking care of your spine, so it can continue to take care of you.
For younger patients, early scoliosis detection and posture correction can prevent bigger problems later in life. For adults, improving spinal mobility and strength can dramatically reduce pain and stiffness, and help slow down the wear and tear that naturally comes as you get older.
We’ve had everyone from 12-year-olds to 70-year-olds walk through our doors, all with one common goal: to move and feel better. And trust us, the human body is incredibly adaptable. When you give it the right support, it’s amazing how quickly it starts to respond. Don’t just take it from us, our clients have been more than thrilled with the help we’ve given them to deal with posture-related issues.
“It’s been about 4 months since I first visited Elite Spine and Dr. Mike. That time my whole body was tight and stiff, muscles are in pain, and my posture was poor. Through a thorough check and a fully designed course to rehabilitation, now my body is light and opened up, my posture has been restored, and the muscle pains have significantly improved. Thank you for Dr. Mike* and all the staff, it’s been a really helpful 4 months for me.”
*Dr. Mike is a licensed chiropractor, not a medical doctor.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is scoliosis?
Scoliosis is a medical disorder where the spine curves to one side in a C or S-shaped curve.
Scoliosis can occur in middle or late childhood. Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, the most common type amongst adolescents, frequently involves the thoracic spine. This leads to a rather noticeable hump in the mid-back, especially when they bend forward, often only on one side.
Meanwhile, adult scoliosis affects the lumbar spine typically. As we grow, our spines may degrade, leading to this type of scoliosis, also known as degenerative scoliosis. In some cases, adult scoliosis can also be a secondary symptom of other medical conditions such as tumours.
Scoliosis can be mild, moderate, or severe.
The Cobb angle, the standard measurement for determining and tracking scoliosis progression, is calculated to measure spinal curvature.
Different scoliosis treatment options are available depending on the curvature’s severity:
- Less than 20° – Conduct observation with regular check-ups and x-rays. Chiropractic care is recommended to prevent the worsening of mild scoliosis.
- Between 20° to 40° – Bracing to slow down the progression of the spinal curve until skeletal maturity
- More than 40° – Depending on the locations of the significant curves and if they impact organ function or risk of further progression, spine surgery (sometimes spinal fusion) may be considered in cases of severe scoliosis.
What are the types of scoliosis?
Idiopathic Scoliosis
Idiopathic scoliosis generally means that the cause of the scoliosis is undetected. This is one of the most common forms of scoliosis (80%) that affects children and adolescents, especially when they go through a growth spurt.
Common signs of this type of scoliosis are uneven shoulders, prominent rib cage or protruding shoulder blades on one side and uneven hips. People with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis may also experience back pain earlier in their life.
Early detection from health screening and treatment of idiopathic scoliosis in children and adolescents can play a massive role in the nature and severity of their scoliosis as they age.
Degenerative Scoliosis
Degenerative scoliosis occurs when your spinal discs have degenerated. Arthritis in the joints that connect the vertebrae is also a cause of degenerative scoliosis.
Congenital Scoliosis
Congenital scoliosis is a birth abnormality that causes a curved spine and is frequently accompanied by other organ problems such as kidney disorders, cardiac abnormalities, and genitourinary tract anomalies.
Neuromuscular Scoliosis
Neuromuscular scoliosis is when the nerves or muscles that support the spine lose control, usually due to cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis or muscular dystrophy.
Functional Scoliosis
Functional scoliosis is a type of scoliosis that is secondary to functional problems such as:
- Misalignment of spinal elements
- Muscular imbalances
- Lower limb pathology
- Postural changes
What Makes Our Functional Correction Method Different?
Unlike quick fixes or one-size-fits-all approaches, our Functional Correction Method (FCM) is a comprehensive system that addresses posture and spinal issues from multiple angles:
- Assessment: We examine not just your posture, but how your spine, muscles, and nervous system work together.
- Correction: Through gentle chiropractic adjustments and targeted exercises, we help your body relearn proper alignment.
- Reinforcement: We provide ongoing support and home exercises to make good posture become automatic, not something you have to constantly think about.
- Integration: We combine chiropractic care with physiotherapy techniques and lifestyle coaching for lasting results.
This multi-dimensional approach is why our patients see improvements that last, not just temporary relief.
