Patient Resources at Benz Chiropractic
Your Evidence-Based Resource Hub
Finding clear, trustworthy information about spinal health isn’t always easy. Given the massive amount of online content available, it can be difficult to know what’s reliable. This page gathers evidence-based resources and practical exercises you can explore at home. Each item has been carefully selected because it reflects widely accepted guidelines and educational value.
Our goal is to give you useful tools to build awareness of posture, movement, and general wellbeing – resources that may be discussed during your visits and applied at your own pace.
Scoliosis Information & Support
Learning about scoliosis can help you understand common approaches to management. The following resources offer evidence-based information about non-surgical scoliosis care, including methods sometimes used in practice such as Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilisation (DNS).
Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilisation (DNS)
DNS is an approach designed to encourage more efficient movement patterns through specific rehabilitation exercises. This article by Dr Gordon explains the background of DNS and its application in scoliosis management.
SOSORT – International Guidelines
The Society on Scoliosis Orthopaedic and Rehabilitation Treatment (SOSORT) develops international guidelines based on research and professional consensus. These guidelines outline conservative approaches to scoliosis care and rehabilitation.
Daily Spinal Hygiene Exercises
Consistent movement can help maintain flexibility and improve posture awareness. The following routine is designed to encourage mobility and controlled movement over time:
- Perform once or twice daily, such as in the morning and evening.
- Move slowly, within a comfortable range – avoid sharp pain or significant discomfort.
- If you notice unusual symptoms, bring them up with your chiropractor at your next visit.
Balance & Stability Training
Balance and coordination are essential in everyday life. The following video demonstrates basic exercises that may help improve steadiness, coordination, and postural awareness. Progress gradually, and use support (such as a wall or chair) if needed.
More Resources Coming Soon
We’re continuing to expand this library with additional educational content, including ergonomics, lifestyle guidance, and condition-specific exercise options. The aim is to keep providing materials that you can trust and use confidently between visits.
These resources are intended for education and general use. They are not a substitute for professional assessment or advice. Please bring any questions or concerns to your chiropractor so we can discuss how these strategies may fit within your overall health plan.
