Scoliosis

Scoliosis with Function

Scoliosis is an improper curvature of the spinal column.  Some cases of scoliosis are barely noticeable, while some cause severe health problems.  It is important to have all children above the age of 10 screened regularly for this condition.

Typically, our goal when caring for this condition is to make the spine work better, regardless of its shape.  It is nearly impossible to completely “straighten out” a scoliosis (it has happened, though).  Chiropractic adjustments can certainly reduce the severity of the curvature to some degree.  The good news is that in most cases, we can restore the spine to near-normal levels of function, even if it is a bit “crooked.”
