Understanding scoliosis
Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine that occurs most often during the growth spurt just before puberty. While the cause is usually unknown (idiopathic scoliosis), it can also result from conditions like cerebral palsy or muscular dystrophy.
While chiropractic care cannot cure scoliosis or reverse the curvature, it can be highly effective at managing symptoms, reducing pain, and improving function for people living with scoliosis.
Our approach focuses on keeping the spine as mobile and balanced as possible, reducing muscle tension and pain, and helping you maintain the best possible quality of life with scoliosis.
