Scoliosis is a condition characterized by an abnormal curvature of the spine. There are different types and causes of scoliosis, but generally, it is a structural condition that can lead to pain, discomfort, and can affect the ability to move freely.
Chiropractic care may be helpful for some people with scoliosis as it addresses the underlying musculoskeletal problems associated with the condition. Chiropractors use manual adjustments and manipulations to help alleviate pain and improve mobility in the spine. They may also use other techniques such as soft tissue therapy, stretching, and exercises to help reduce inflammation and pain, and improve overall joint health.
Chiropractors may also recommend lifestyle changes, such as diet, exercise, and ergonomic adjustments, that can help to reduce pain and improve overall well-being. They may also suggest bracing, if the curvature is severe, to help to slow the progression of the condition.
