Scoliosis is characterized by lateral curves in the spine, typically affecting the thoracic (mid-back) or lumbar (lower back) regions. While most people have some very mild spinal curvature, scoliosis refers to more pronounced curves that can cause discomfort.
How the Abnormal Curve Affects Your Body
The irregular spinal alignment creates muscle imbalances throughout the back and core. One side may become chronically tight while the other remains overstretched, leading to pain and reduced function. Nerve irritation can also occur when certain nerves become compressed within the curve.
Our Non-Invasive Approach to Healing
We focus on non-surgical, drug-free approaches to managing scoliosis. Our methods include:
- Specific spinal adjustments to improve mobility
- Muscle strengthening exercises to support proper alignment
- Techniques to reduce pain and muscle tension
- Guidance on posture and body mechanics
Dr. Siler emphasizes, “We’re not putting rods in their spine or giving them pain meds to mask whatever’s going on. We’re trying to get that spine moving back in the right direction and giving them muscle strengthening exercises to get those muscles to hold it in the right spot.”
Age Considerations For Tailored Treatment
The approach to scoliosis treatment varies based on age. Children often respond more dramatically to chiropractic intervention because their spines are still growing.
For adults, chiropractic care focuses on managing symptoms, improving function, and preventing progression rather than correcting the curve entirely.
