Chiropractic Scoliosis Treatment
Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine that is known to affect 3% of adolescents, but likely occurs in many more undetected. This problem usually develops during the growth spurts of puberty and in most cases the causes are unknown. However, this does not mean that scoliosis can’t be managed to alleviate any related discomfort.
How Can Chiropractic Care Treat Scoliosis?
For scoliosis patients, the position of the spine isn't straight as it naturally should be. This causes a lot of strain on the surrounding muscles. As a result, pain can span the back and also affect the neck, hips, and shoulders. Chiropractic care helps to realign the spine, relieve muscle tension, and decrease scoliosis symptoms.
First, it's important to note that chiropractic care won't fix scoliosis. Only surgery can straighten the spine. However, such invasive treatment is usually not needed to correct posture, reduce pain, and increase quality of life.
The Benefits of Chiropractic Scoliosis Treatment
Visiting Dr. Wren of Dr. David Wren Chiropractic & Sports Injury Center for scoliosis treatment offers the following benefits in addition to pain relief:
- Treatment is non-invasive and natural.
- Treatment does not involve the use of any medications, including painkillers.
- Treatment is safe and gentle.
- Treatment can prevent scoliosis from worsening and requiring more aggressive treatment like surgery.
What to Expect When Receiving Chiropractic Scoliosis Treatment
Chiropractic care for scoliosis isn’t a one-time treatment; it’s routine. To get the best results, you must receive regular adjustments and stick to the individual treatment plan Dr. Wren will create for you.
In order to build the most effective treatment plan, Dr. Wren will examine your spine at your first appointment. He will also ask about your medical history and the symptoms you are experiencing. While you will receive treatment at your first appointment and may leave feeling better, you will continue to improve over the course of your ongoing treatments. Once your symptoms are controlled, Dr. Wren will help you maintain your spinal health. This may include periodic treatments as well as at-home exercises and stretches you can incorporate into your daily routine.
