Scoliosis is a sideways curving of the spine that often gets started in childhood, when the bones of the spine are still growing. In many cases, the exact cause of scoliosis is unknown.  Scoliosis is detected by uneven shoulder heights, a loss of structural balance, or a change in posture. It is thought that scoliosis is the result of a hereditary problem or an adaption to some type of trauma, such as the birth process, or an injury, such as falling off a bicycle. Unfortunately, the most common treatment approach has been to wait and see how bad it gets, resorting to unsightly braces, or eventually surgery, if it progresses too far.

The chiropractic approach is to use specific spinal adjustments, often combined with corrective exercises. If detected early enough, chiropractic doctors have had excellent success with scoliosis cases. Early detection and chiropractic correction is important for optimum results. We’re dedicated to helping patients manage their scoliosis without the use of surgery or drugs.
