What Scoliosis Is

Scoliosis is an abnormal curvature of the spine. It is often hereditary and requires intervention to straighten the back so symptoms are not experienced. This condition can worsen over time if it is not treated properly. It is often experienced during the years of puberty, which makes it important that checks are done of the spine so correction is done quickly to help minimize symptoms. It can also be caused by muscular dystrophy or cerebral palsy. In other instances, the reason for this condition is unknown. If the condition is not treated and worsens, there is the potential for the lungs do not have adequate room in the chest to function properly.

The Symptoms Of Scoliosis

If you have scoliosis, it is likely you appear as if you have poor posture much of the time. Your shoulders may appear uneven and one shoulder blade may seem more prominent than your other one. Your waist might look uneven as if one side is larger than the other. One hip might also appear to be higher than the opposite side of your body. Your spine will twist as the condition worsens. When this occurs, your ribs will stick out more on one side of your body than the other. Scoliosis is often painless, which makes it more different to diagnose if you do not have your spine checked regularly. In many cases, someone else will point out that your body's overall stature seems uneven, necessitating a visit to a chiropractor for an assessment.

How Our Chiropractor Treats This Condition

Scoliosis can be treated with aid from a back brace to stabilize the spine and encourage it to grow without twisting. This process is best done during the adolescent years, however. If you are already in your adult years, the curving of your spine will place increased pressure upon your nerves. This will cause numbness, weakness, or pain in your lower body. You may find that your mobility decreases as well. Our chiropractor will adjust your spine to help relieve pressure placed upon the joints around your spine. These will not only improve your posture but will also reduce any pain you are experiencing.
