Natural Scoliosis Treatment with Chiropractic Care
Scoliosis can be a painful and frustrating condition. Even mild cases can have significant impacts on sufferers. Scoliosis is frequently diagnosed in childhood, but it is also possible to develop scoliosis during adulthood. It is the most common kind of spinal deformity, and tends to affect more women than men.
Often, there is no identifiable cause of scoliosis, and there is no cure, but there are treatments that can alleviate the symptoms, and in some cases, reduce the risk of it progressing. Many people with scoliosis rely on chiropractic care from Cy-Fair HealthCare Associates to treat their condition naturally with a high level of success.
What Is Scoliosis?
Scoliosis is an abnormal sideways curvature of the spine, typically causing the spine to take the shape of an “S” or a “C,” depending on how many curves there are. Most cases of scoliosis are relatively minor, but the condition can worsen over time.
Some of the most common symptoms of scoliosis are shoulders, hips, or rib cages that are higher on one side than the other. Sometimes, someone finds out that they have scoliosis when they notice clothing fitting unevenly or that one of their shoulder blades juts out.
Scoliosis can also be painful. Frequently, especially for women with scoliosis, mild cases do not cause pain during childhood but lead to chronic back pain during adulthood. Left untreated, this pain can become increasingly worse and may ultimately become debilitating.
How Does Chiropractic Care Help?
Chiropractors specialize in the spine, so it is not surprising that they can help treat symptoms associated with scoliosis. Typically, chiropractic care is focused on correcting spinal alignment issues through a series of adjustments. For scoliosis, chiropractic care can’t fully correct the curvature of the spine, but it can remove pressure from nerves by coaxing the head, neck, back, and hips into healthier positions, easing painful scoliosis symptoms.
Chiropractors also frequently help patients with scoliosis learn exercises that can ease pain between spinal adjustments and help them maintain healthy mobility.
