Scoliosis affects nearly 3 percent of the population, which is over 7 million people. For those suffering with scoliosis, their quality of life can be diminished and participating in activities, sports, or every day tasks can be limited due to pain.
Scoliosis is the abnormal curvature of the spine. Although scoliosis can be caused by conditions like cerebral palsy and muscular dystrophy, the cause of most scoliosis cases is unknown. Most cases of scoliosis occur just before puberty, when children go through a growth spurt.
Some common symptoms of scoliosis include: uneven shoulders, uneven waist and one hip being higher than the other. An especially severe spinal curve can reduce the amount of space within the chest, making it difficult for the lungs to function properly.
Chiropractic Care for Scoliosis
Chiropractic care is a great, practical way to manage and relieve pain and discomfort caused by scoliosis. Chiropractic care provides patients with scoliosis treatment that’s safe and non-invasive. It also provides a non-addictive alternative to prescription medications or over-the-counter medications.
The use of chiropractic care can help reduce scoliosis pain significantly, which also can prevent further spine degradation and improve the overall quality of life. Chiropractors provide gentle and non-invasive adjustments to reduce joint restrictions or misalignments in the spine and other joints in the body to reduce inflammation. Adjustments can also help improve the function of both the affect joint and the nervous system as a whole.
These adjustments can also reduce pressure on the spine and help straighten the abnormal curvature of your spine. Chiropractic adjustments and torso braces are a great combination that can help relieve scoliosis pain and discomfort, all while being non-invasive and without undergoing any surgeries. Sometimes surgery fails to relieve back pain associated with scoliosis.
Overall, chiropractic care can help bring the spine back to its proper posture or keep the spine curvature from progressing, completely restoring your spine’s normal function.
