What Is Scoliosis?
Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine. It can develop during childhood growth spurts, as a result of degenerative changes in adulthood, or from other underlying conditions. Signs may include uneven shoulders or hips, a shoulder blade that sticks out, a visible curve, back pain, and muscle fatigue. Early detection is important, which is why we also offer pediatric chiropractic evaluations for children and teens.
Scoliosis Treatment
Chiropractic adjustments can be very effective in reducing scoliosis symptoms and improving function by helping align even a curved spine as well as possible. Our chiropractors also offer scoliosis-specific stretches, massage, and exercises that improve strength, flexibility, and posture.
To provide scoliosis pain management, we examine the rigidity of your spine. By alleviating nerve tension, your chiropractor may help address contributing factors, relieve discomfort, and improve how you feel day to day.
Sensorimotor Integration
Sensorimotor integration describes how your brain and body communicate. Part of scoliosis care involves helping the brain relearn how to use the spine and the muscles that support it, improving balance, posture, and coordination.
Your Role in Your Chiropractic Care
Scoliosis management requires your involvement, and your commitment is one of the most important factors in your progress. Keeping your appointments and following your home exercise program give you the best chance of improving your condition and quality of life. We encourage questions throughout your care, because patients who understand their treatment plan tend to see better results. Our physical therapy and personal fitness training services can support your progress.
