SCOLIOSIS: MANAGING THE CURVE
Scoliosis, a sideways curvature of the spine, can range from mild to severe and often develops during adolescence. While bracing and surgery are traditional treatments for more advanced cases, many patients with scoliosis benefit from conservative, non-invasive care. Chiropractic care offers a drug-free approach to managing pain, improving posture, and enhancing spinal function.
Key Insight:
Chiropractic care doesn’t claim to “cure” scoliosis, but it can help manage its effects. Adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and postural rehabilitation can reduce discomfort, support mobility, and in some cases, help slow curve progression.
If you or a loved one are living with scoliosis, chiropractic care may offer support, relief, and better movement without invasive procedures. Schedule a consultation today and discover how chiropractic can help you live more comfortably.
