Understanding Scoliosis

Scoliosis is a condition where the spine curves sideways, often in an S or C shape, and may also twist. It typically starts in childhood but can go unnoticed initially. Parents might observe an uneven waist or shoulders, prominent shoulder blades, elevated hips, or a leaning posture. The rib cage can also appear more prominent on one side when the person bends forward.

Causes of Scoliosis

In some cases, scoliosis is due to underlying biomechanical imbalances like muscle spasms, differing leg lengths, osteoporosis, and arthritis, termed functional scoliosis. These factors can cause spinal curvature, which chiropractic care can potentially reduce or reverse.

Idiopathic Scoliosis

Most scoliosis cases are idiopathic, meaning their cause is unknown. Chiropractic care can help alleviate pain and may reduce severity. Adults with childhood scoliosis are more likely to experience chronic back pain. Early detection is crucial for appropriate diagnosis and treatment. Scoliosis can run in families, so regular check-ups are recommended for children with a family history.
