Scoliosis Treatment In Orlando
Managing Scoliosis With Conservative Care
Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine that often appears during growth spurts in children and teens, and can also develop later in life as discs and joints degenerate unevenly. Common signs include uneven shoulders or hips, one shoulder blade sticking out, clothing that hangs unevenly, back pain and fatigue.
Chiropractic care does not straighten a structural curve, but it does a great deal to keep the spine mobile, reduce the muscular pain that comes with an uneven load, and support posture as the body grows or ages.
What You Need to Know
We start with a postural and digital X-ray assessment to measure the curve, then build a plan around mobility, muscular balance and monitoring over time.
- Postural screening and digital imaging
- Gentle adjustments to keep segments mobile
- Muscle balancing and soft tissue therapy
- Targeted strengthening for the weaker side
- Periodic re-evaluation to track the curve
