Whether you’ve recently been diagnosed or have lived with scoliosis for years, our goal is to provide care that alleviates your discomfort and restores your mobility.
Understanding Scoliosis: What You Need to Know
Scoliosis is a condition where the spine curves abnormally to the side. This curvature can range from mild to severe and may worsen over time, particularly if it’s not addressed. While the cause of scoliosis can vary, there are several types of the condition:
- Idiopathic: This is the most common form, where the cause is unknown.
- Congenital: Present at birth, this type occurs due to misshapen vertebrae.
- Degenerative: Often occurring in older adults, it results from aging-related changes such as osteoporosis or spinal degeneration.
Who Is at Risk?
While anyone can develop scoliosis, it’s most commonly diagnosed in adolescents during growth spurts. However, adults, especially seniors, can also develop degenerative scoliosis as part of the aging process. Early detection and management are key to preventing worsening symptoms.
Recognizing the Early Signs
Scoliosis doesn’t always present obvious symptoms, especially in its early stages. Keep an eye out for the following signs:
- Uneven shoulders or hips
- A visible curve in the spine
- One shoulder blade being more prominent than the other
- Clothes fitting unevenly
- Back pain or fatigue after standing for long periods
Identifying these signs early can make a significant difference in how effectively scoliosis is managed.
Non-Surgical Treatment
Our approach to scoliosis care focuses on non-invasive treatments that target the root causes of discomfort and dysfunction. Through chiropractic adjustments, we help reduce spinal tension and promote better alignment. We also offer targeted exercises designed to strengthen the muscles that support the spine, ensuring long-term stability.
What to Expect as a New Patient
Your first visit to our practice will begin with a thorough evaluation of your spine, including any necessary imaging. This helps Dr. Jeff understand the extent of your scoliosis and develop a treatment plan tailored to your condition and goals. We pride ourselves on providing compassionate care and will be with you every step of the way, supporting your efforts to manage scoliosis.
