​Scoliosis and how chiropractic care could help.

​

Scoliosis is when the spine curves sideways. Despite its rarity, scoliosis impacts almost 3 percent of individuals, totaling over 7 million people. For those 7 million individuals, their quality of life may suffer, leading to restrictions in participating in activities or sports because of pain, reduced respiratory function, or decreased self-esteem.

The majority of scoliosis cases develop during the growth spurt right before puberty, leading to possible deformities. Additional causes may include cerebral palsy and muscular dystrophy. As of now, the cause of scoliosis remains unknown to doctors, but it seems to be linked to genetic factors. Although a clear cure is not available, there are methods to offer comfort and enhance quality of life for individuals with scoliosis.

How Does Chiropractic Treatment Benefit Individuals with Scoliosis?

​

Chiropractic treatment is an effective method for controlling and alleviating scoliosis-related pain and discomfort. Regular chiropractic treatment offers scoliosis patients a safe and non-addictive option for managing pain, without the need for prescription or over-the-counter medications typically used for pain relief.

Chiropractors provide a gentle, non-invasive, and non-addictive treatment called a chiropractic adjustment. Chiropractic adjustments aim to decrease joint restrictions and misalignments in the spine and other body joints to decrease inflammation and enhance the function of the affected joint and nervous system. By enhancing joint flexibility and enhancing the function of your nervous system and spinal health, your body can better cope with symptoms related to scoliosis.

Listed below are a few of the health advantages that chiropractic treatment and adjustments can offer to individuals with scoliosis. Improved flexibility, Reduced pain and discomfort, Improved range of motion, Increased activity and lifestyle.

After examining you and conducting a consultation, your chiropractor may collaborate with other healthcare providers like massage therapists, physical therapists, or primary care physicians in treating your scoliosis.​
