Chiropractic Care for Scoliosis

At Healthy Life Chiropractic, we treat patients of all ages from newborns to senior citizens. There are many conditions that are more commonly seen in a specific age group, including scoliosis in children and teenagers. If your child suffers from scoliosis, chiropractic care may be able to help. Here’s what you need to know.

What is Scoliosis?

Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine that affects nearly 3% of the population, or over 7 million people. It can lead to a diminished quality of life and prevent those who have it from participating in sports or activities due to reduced respiratory function, pain, and diminished self-esteem.

Scoliosis cases most commonly occur during the growth spurt just prior to puberty and can cause potential deformities. Other causes of scoliosis can include muscular dystrophy and cerebral palsy, but doctors do not know what causes scoliosis, though it appears to involve hereditary traits. There is no clear cure for scoliosis, but there are methods to provide relief and improve quality of life.

How Can Chiropractic Care Help?

Chiropractic care is an excellent method to relieve and manage pain and discomfort caused by scoliosis. Regular chiropractic adjustments are a safe, non-addictive, non-invasive alternative to over-the-counter or prescription pain medications, which are commonly prescribed to scoliosis patients to help manage pain.

At Healthy Life Chiropractic, Dr. Tina McKay and Dr. Rob Stevens provide gentle, targeted, and effective chiropractic adjustments. These adjustments reduce joint misalignments and restrictions in the spine and other joints to improve function of both the affected joint and the nervous system and reduce inflammation. By improving nervous system function and spinal health and increasing joint mobility, the body can better manage symptoms caused by scoliosis.

Benefits of Chiropractic Care for Scoliosis Patients

Chiropractic care comes with many benefits, including the following for scoliosis patients:

  • Reduced discomfort and pain

  • Improved flexibility

  • Decreased inflammation

  • Better range of motion

  • Increased activity levels

Patient Reviews

"I was experiencing a lot of pain in my feet following the birth of my son. I was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis in both feet. After seeing my PCP and being prescribed anti-inflammatory medication, I looked into the benefits of Chiropractic care. I was in so much pain from the plantar fasciitis that is because difficult for me to walk. I was unable to carry my newborn and walk because I was concerned for his safety. As part of my care plan, custom orthotics were recommended. Within days of receiving my orthotics I had a reduction in my pain. Regular Chiropractic visits and my orthotics have allowed me to be able to care for my son again!"

"I worked for Wal-Mart for 20 years walking on hard floors 10 hours a day. I felt a horrible pain in my right hip/buttocks area and could not bend or walk. My sister did a little research and recommended Healthy Life Chiropractic- They do EVERYTHING! After the first treatment, the pain was gone! After being educated on my problems, they worked on my whole body and it feels 100% better. I have never been a good sleeper, but I am sleeping much better and get up in the morning ready to go! I have never felt better!"

- Michael Chambers

"My daughter came in to see Dr. Rob for possible curve in her spine. She was officially diagnosed with scoliosis after her evaluation. As parents, we were having a hard time wrapping out heads around what that meant for our beautiful 8 year old girl. Dr. Rob, Dr. Tina, and the whole staff at Healthy Life Chiropractic have been phenomenal! After 2 months of treatment- regular adjustments and exercises- we are seeing a huge improvement! Her hips are aligned now, her feet meet properly, and she is feeling better all around. We haven’t retaken her x-rays yet- not until we’ve done treatment for a whole year- but based off our experience, and results we’ve seen so far, I am confident that her curve has not gotten worse and has probably even improved!"

- Margaret Wearne

"I began my chiropractic care in October 2017 because of increased pain and decreased mobility in my left hip that had gotten increasingly worse over the previous 4-5 months. I love that I have been able benefit from whole body treatment that in turn has almost completely taken away the issues I was experiencing with my hip. I am so grateful for feeling good again and I highly recommend Healthy Life for your chiropractic care and total life wellness."

"I have been a patient at Healthy Life Chiropractic for over 3 years! After driving several hundred miles a week and spending time on the computer for work, I not only get regular adjustments, I utilize the massage therapists as well. I've recently begun using, with success, Standard Process supplements and Doterra Essential Oils. I appreciate the holistic approach to care by all of the staff at Healthy Life!"

"I have been coming to Healthy Life Chiropractic for over a year now. The treatments I receive give me such a relief of stress. The personnel is a big part of my relief.
