Albuquerque Women's Scoliosis Specialist


Dr. Pettine is the first clinician in New Mexico and among the first in the nation to offer the ONERO™ program. Developed by Dr. Belinda Beck of The Bone Clinic, this innovative and evidence-based exercise program is explicitly designed to safely strengthen bone and muscle while reducing falls, making it ideal for individuals with low bone density (osteopenia or osteoporosis).
WHY CHOOSE ONERO™?
The ONERO™ program is the result of a decade of research and clinical application in osteoporosis and offers a wide range of benefits:
-
Improved Bone Density: Specifically selected exercises stimulate bone development and help increase bone density.
-
Enhanced Muscle Strength: Strength training improves overall muscle power, contributing to better stability and mobility.
-
Reduced Fall Risk: Tailored exercises help improve balance and coordination, lowering the risk of falls.
-
Safe and Effective: Supervised by licensed clinicians and exercise physiologists to ensure optimal safety and results.
-
Efficient Workouts: Just two sessions a week can achieve significant health benefits.

1
Postural Recalibration
One of the foundational elements of strength training with Dr. Pettine is postural recalibration. Over time, scoliosis can lead to habitual postural imbalances that exacerbate pain and discomfort. Our program helps women:
-
Identify and correct these imbalances
-
Achieve better alignment and symmetry in daily activities
-
Reduce strain on the spine and surrounding muscles
Through targeted exercises and mindful movement practices, participants learn how to recalibrate their posture to support a more balanced and stable spine.
2
strengthening out of your curve pattern
A strong, stable core is essential for managing scoliosis effectively, especially in the context of post-menopausal bone health. Strength training programs focus on:
-
Strengthening the muscles that support the spine, particularly the core
-
Developing stability outside of the curve pattern, reducing the risk of further curvature progression
-
Enhancing overall body strength to support a healthy, active lifestyle
Our carefully curated exercises are designed to be both challenging and safe, ensuring that participants build strength without compromising their spine or bone health.
3
Safe movement for women with osteoporosis or osteopenia
For women with osteoporosis or osteopenia, safe movement is paramount. Strength training programs emphasize:
-
Techniques for safe exercise that protect bones and prevent fractures
-
Modifications to traditional movements to increase safety
-
Education on avoiding movements and activities that could be harmful
Our program provides participants with the knowledge and tools they need to stay active while safeguarding their bone health.
4
Education for Activity Modification and Lifelong Spine Health
Knowledge is power, and Dr. Pettine's strength training program will equip participants with the information they need to make informed decisions about their spine health. This includes:
-
Guidance on how to modify everyday activities to protect the spine
-
Tips for maintaining a healthy, active lifestyle with scoliosis
-
Strategies for preventing further curvature progression and managing pain
The goal is to empower women with scoliosis to live their lives to the fullest, with the confidence that they can maintain their spine health for years to come.
