First, a thorough examination helps detect scoliosis in its early stage. Then, corrective action can begin at once.
The primary course of care is a program of specific chiropractic adjustments. These help improve the function and structure of the spine.
Muscles strengthen. Posture can improve.
Chiropractic care has helped countless young women reclaim their health, posture and their self-esteem.
Isn't a certain amount of sideways curvature normal?
Any type of sideways curvature is abnormal. From the back, the spine should appear straight. When scoliosis is present,
there are usually two curves: a primary curve in one direction and a compensatory curve in the opposite direction.
Does a lack of calcium or carrying a heavy book bag cause scoliosis?
No. However, there are a growing number of authorities who believe uncorrected spinal damage from the birth
process may be involved. Others suggest that using walkers to encourage early walking may be a culprit.
What's the best time for a scoliosis examination?
As with the case of many health problems, early detection can improve the likelihood of correction. Wise parents consult our
office soon after the birth of their child. Then they follow up with periodic chiropractic checkups throughout their child's developing years.
