The Fishman Method | Non-Surgical Scoliosis Treatment

Reversing Scoliosis with
Muscular Balance

Based on 5 published clinical studies, Dr. Loren Fishman’s protocol uses targeted isometric therapy to improve spinal curvature in adolescents and adults.

The Science of Tensegrity

Scoliosis is often driven by asymmetrical muscular tension. Our research suggests that the concave side of a spinal curve is the "stronger" side, creating a constant pull that worsens the curvature.

Inspired by Buckminster Fuller’s concept of tensegrity, our treatment focuses on equalizing this tension. We strengthen the weaker convex side and, if needed, temporarily relax the stronger concave side.

A Dual-Action
Treatment Plan

1

Isometric Strengthening

Using specialized poses (Vasisthasana and Ardha Chandrasana) to target the quadratus lumborum, psoas, and paraspinal muscles on the curve's convex side.

2

Targeted Injections

Incobotulinum toxin A is precisely injected into the stronger muscles on the concave side to reduce resistance, allowing the spine to reverse toward center more effectively.

3

Ongoing Monitoring

We utilize unmodified Cobb method measurements via standard or EOS X-rays to track progress, avoiding surgical risks and inflexible bracing restrictions.

Who This Is For

  • Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS)
  • Adults with Degenerative Scoliosis
  • Curves Greater Than 10 Degrees
  • Complex "S" or Inverted "S" Curves

*Adult curves typically increase by .75 degrees per annum without treatment. Our goal is to halt and reverse this progression.

Common Questions

No. Patient engagement rarely amounts to more than five minutes a day. Poses are held three times daily for as long as possible, and we provide derivations for special cases such as rotator cuff syndrome or extreme weakness.
Apart from temporary discomfort in the wrist or shoulder while holding the isometric poses, no adverse side effects have been seen across 318 patients in our studies.
It temporarily weakens the over-active muscles on the concave side of the curve, reducing resistance and allowing the weaker muscles on the convex side to pull the spine back into alignment more effectively.
