What Is Scoliosis?

Scoliosis is a disorder that affects the curvature of the spine. The vertebrae in the spine curving to the left and right instead of being straight, resulting in a curved or crooked spine. The curvature can also twist or rotate like a corkscrew. Scoliosis can be hereditary, however, other disorders can cause scoliosis as well. Muscular dystrophy and cerebral palsy sometimes result in a patient developing scoliosis.

How can Chiropractic Treatment Benefit Patients with Scoliosis?

A chiropractor is trained in dealing with patients with a variety of issues and disorders. Scoliosis patients often need ongoing treatment in the form of spinal adjustments and manipulation. Exercise and postural counseling are often a part of the treatment plan as well. Electric stimulation is a treatment option as well.

However, no two patients are exactly alike. A chiropractor develops a treatment plan based on the unique needs of a particular patient. The frequency of chiropractic treatment will vary from person to person.

A common approach is to make gentle adjustments to the areas of the spine that are misaligned. A chiropractor manually manipulates the bones in the spine to create alignment. The severity of scoliosis can vary from one patient to the next. As a result, each treatment plan may consist of various forms of treatments and approaches. The primary treatment consists of manual manipulation of the bones in the spine.
