Chiropractic Care for Scoliosis
At Life Aligned Wellness Center, we offer comprehensive chiropractic care to help manage the symptoms of scoliosis, a condition where the spine curves abnormally to the side. This abnormal curvature can develop during childhood or adolescence and may worsen over time if left untreated. Scoliosis can lead to uneven shoulders or hips, noticeable changes in posture, pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. Scoliosis can sometimes put pressure on internal organs, affecting lung function and overall health. While the severity of symptoms varies, scoliosis can significantly impact daily activities and overall quality of life.
How does chiropractic help with scoliosis?
Chiropractic care deals with issues related to the spine, muscles, and nerves. When treating scoliosis, chiropractors use hands-on techniques and specialized instruments to make adjustments to the spine. These adjustments improve nerve control of the body, reduce pain, enhance movement, and improve overall bodily function.
Is it safe?
Yes, spinal adjustments are safe when performed by a licensed, trained chiropractor. Serious problems from spinal adjustments are very rare, especially when compared to the side effects of drugs and the risks of surgery. Chiropractors receive extensive training to ensure they can provide help without causing harm. During your initial appointment in Tucson, we will discuss your health history and address any concerns you may have before beginning treatment.
What happens during a chiropractic visit for scoliosis?
We will review your health history and conduct a physical examination during your initial visit. In some cases, we may refer you for x-rays. After evaluating the results, we’ll discuss a treatment plan tailored to help you achieve your health goals. This plan typically includes spinal adjustments and may involve other therapies to help your back function better and reduce pain.
How well does chiropractic care work for scoliosis?
We know that scoliosis can be very painful, and often chronic. Dr. Cox has helped hundreds of patients in Tucson improve and manage their scoliosis over the last 25 years, allowing them to live fuller lives. Studies show chiropractic care can significantly alleviate pain, improve mobility, and enhance overall quality of life. Since everyone is different, each treatment plan is tailored to their needs and goals.
When should I think about seeing a chiropractor for scoliosis?
You should schedule a new patient appointment if:
- Your scoliosis causes ongoing pain or discomfort.
- You notice worsening spinal curvature.
- You experience stiffness or limited mobility in your back.
- Certain activities worsen your pain.
- You prefer non-drug and non-surgical options for managing scoliosis.
