What is Scoliosis?

Scoliosis is a genetic condition that affects the natural curvature of the spine. Symptoms of scoliosis include:

• Physical deformity
• Balance issues
• Back pain
• Neck pain
• Shoulder pain
• Difficulty walking
• Difficulty completing daily activities

There is currently no cure for scoliosis. However, its symptoms can be managed. Non-invasive techniques from a chiropractor can help you manage the pain and other symptoms associated with scoliosis.

What A Chiropractor Provides

Our chiropractor will conduct a full physical exam to determine the severity of your scoliosis. Chiropractors are trained in recognizing musculoskeletal ailments and can determine if your back, neck, and shoulder pain are due to scoliosis or another condition. To do so, we will use imaging techniques such as x-rays, ask you a series of questions about your medical history, and conduct a physical exam.

Some mild cases of scoliosis don't need any treatment. However, if you have severe scoliosis, our chiropractor can provide several treatments, such as:

• Postural neurological re-training exercises: If you've been living with scoliosis for years, chances are you are suffering from balance issues. We will provide corrective exercises to help re-train your body to balance itself again.
• Manual or spinal adjustments: Gentle adjustments to the neck can help restore the natural curvature of the spine. These manual adjustments are not painful, can be done in an outpatient setting, and can help restore the spine without invasive techniques.
