WHAT IS SCOLIOSIS?

Scoliosis is a condition that affects nearly 7 million people, or 3% of the population, and is a sideways curvature of the spine. It can prevent those who have it from doing the things they love due to diminished self-esteem, pain, and reduced respiratory function which can lead to a lesser quality of life.

Scoliosis cases usually occur during the growth spurt that takes place just before puberty and can cause potential deformities. Other causes of scoliosis are linked to cerebral palsy and muscular dystrophy, but no true cause of scoliosis has been discovered, though it is possible it involves hereditary traits. There is no cure for scoliosis, but there are methods that provide relief and can improve a patient’s quality of life.

HOW WILLS CHIROPRACTIC CAN HELP SCOLIOSIS PATIENTS

Chiropractic care is effective at treating many conditions, scoliosis included. It can help manage and relieve pain and discomfort caused by scoliosis. Chiropractic adjustments are effective, non-invasive, gentle, and safe and bring relief without the use of pain medications, which are often prescribed to help patients manage their pain.

At Wills Chiropractic, our chiropractors use targeted and effective chiropractic adjustments to help with the treatment of scoliosis. These adjustments reduce misalignments and joint restrictions in the spine and other joints to improve function to the affected joints and the nervous system, which also helps reduce inflammation. By improving joint mobility, spinal health, and the function of the nervous system the body has a better opportunity to use its natural ability to heal itself and manage scoliosis symptoms.

THE BENEFITS OF CHIROPRACTIC FOR SCOLIOSIS PATIENTS

The benefits of chiropractic care are numerous and include the following for patients being treated for scoliosis:

Improved flexibility
Reduced pain and discomfort
Decreased inflammation
Better range of motion
Increased level of activity
