Scoliosis: Get help from an expert chiropractor
Chiropractor
Scoliosis is a spinal curvature to the left or right that can cause issues such as severe pain, spinal damage, poor bone health, and postural changes, affecting your daily life. In scoliosis, your vertebral column, which should be straight, takes a “C” or “S” shape. A professional
chiropractor can take a holistic approach to assess, diagnose, and treat your condition. Chiropractic care is a non-invasive and painless treatment option!
Why visit a chiropractor
According to the World Health Organization, a
chiropractor is a health care professional responsible for the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of Neuromusculoskeletal disorders of the spine and their impact on general health, including scoliosis. Within the scope of chiropractic care, the common goals of scoliosis treatment are to stabilize the spine and reduce the Cobb angle, improve quality of life, and reduce pain.
How does chiropractic help me treat scoliosis?
A
chiropractor is a highly qualified professional who can evaluate and, if necessary, order tests critical to diagnosing scoliosis. It is vital because, in many cases, scoliosis takes time to diagnose, and a
chiropractor can help with the process. Chiropractors use a series of specific procedures and interventions to improve pain and reduce loss of range of motion in idiopathic scoliosis.
A top
chiropractor is a professional who uses passive and active treatment techniques. According to clinical guidelines, passive therapies such as joint adjustments and other manual therapy techniques are essential in the management of scoliosis, provided they are accompanied by scoliosis-specific exercises that are most helpful for the curvature of the spine. Besides passive therapy, chiropractors may use active techniques, such as scoliosis-specific exercises (SEAS).
Why do you need a unique approach?
Scoliosis requires a unique approach from a
chiropractor because it cannot be treated like any other spinal condition as it can worsen and put more pressure on the vertebrae and nerves. The vertebrae must be repositioned for this treatment to work. The muscles must relax and the brain must readapt the new settings. The treatment requires a lot of effort. However, chiropractic adjustments are not a substitute for surgery in severe cases.
Chiropractic also works to prevent scoliosis.
The sooner chiropractic care is done, the better it is for preventing scoliosis. Therefore, do not ignore the help of a professional
chiropractor if you notice changes in spinal alignment, chronic back pain; shoulder height difference, and pain in the chest, cervical spine and back. Remember that episodes of scoliosis are asymptomatic.
