Chiropractic Care for Scoliosis

Chiropractic care can be beneficial for managing mild cases of scoliosis, particularly functional scoliosis. Chiropractors can help by:

Identifying the Underlying Cause

Determining if the scoliosis is functional or structural.

Addressing Spinal Misalignments

Gentle adjustments can help improve spinal alignment and reduce pain.

Improving Posture

Exercises and lifestyle advice can help correct postural imbalances.

Monitoring Progression

Regular check-ups can help track the progression of the curvature.

It’s important to note that for severe cases of scoliosis, medical intervention, such as bracing or surgery, may be necessary.
