What Is Scoliosis?
Scoliosis is a condition where your spine curves sideways, often resembling an “S” or “C” shape. This curvature can develop at any age, but it’s most commonly diagnosed during adolescence. If you have scoliosis, you may notice uneven shoulders, hips, or a leaning posture. In more severe cases, scoliosis can cause discomfort, restricted movement, or breathing difficulties due to the spine pressing on your organs. Early detection and treatment, such as chiropractic care, can help manage symptoms and improve your quality of life.
Common Symptoms of Scoliosis:
- Uneven shoulders or hips
- A visibly curved spine
- One shoulder blade protruding more than the other
- Uneven waist or rib cage
- Leaning to one side while standing
- Difficulty standing up straight
- Back pain or discomfort
- Restricted range of motion in the spine
- Breathing difficulties in severe cases
- Clothes fitting unevenly
How Does Chiropractic Care Help With Scoliosis?
Chiropractic care offers a non-invasive approach to managing scoliosis by focusing on spinal alignment and mobility. Through gentle, targeted adjustments, our chiropractors help reduce pressure on the spine and surrounding muscles, which can alleviate pain and improve posture.
