Chiropractic is key to fighting scoliosis

Scoliosis, an abnormal curvature of the spine that affects people of all ages, can have a significant impact on quality of life and overall health. In this release, we explore how chiropractic has stood out as an effective and holistic approach to alleviating the symptoms of scoliosis and improving the quality of life of those who suffer from it.

What is Scoliosis?

Scoliosis is a condition in which the spine curves laterally in an “S” or “C” shape. It can arise for a variety of reasons, either congenital, during growth, or due to neuromuscular factors, affecting posture, mobility and even respiratory function in more severe cases.

Types of Scoliosis:

  • Idiopathic Scoliosis: The most common form, with no known cause.
  • Neuromuscular Scoliosis: Associated with neuromuscular conditions.
  • Congenital Scoliosis: Present at birth due to anomalies in the formation of the vertebrae.
  • Degenerative Scoliosis: Developed in adulthood due to wear and tear on the joints of the spine.
  • Functional Scoliosis: Results from muscular or postural imbalances without structural anomalies.

One of the ways we know if we have scoliosis is to see if any of these characteristics are present:

The Chiropractic Approach: A Path to Relief

Comprehensive evaluation

Chiropractic begins with a thorough evaluation that addresses the specific nature of each patient's scoliosis, considering the spine, posture and musculature.

Precise chiropractic adjustments

Using gentle adjustments, chiropractors correct vertebral subluxations associated with scoliosis, seeking to restore proper alignment and improve neuromuscular function.

Muscle strengthening

A personalized exercise program is incorporated to strengthen the muscles surrounding the spine, helping to maintain proper alignment and improve stability.

Improving mobility

Chiropractic adjustments and muscle strengthening help improve mobility and flexibility, allowing for a wider and more comfortable range of motion.
