Scoliosis is a condition in which the spine is curved to the side, and can cause a variety of symptoms, including pain. Chiropractors are trained to diagnose and treat scoliosis, using a combination of manual therapy, exercises, and lifestyle changes.

​

There are different types of scoliosis, including idiopathic scoliosis, which is the most common type and has no known cause, and congenital scoliosis, which is caused by a birth defect.

​

The most common type of pain associated with scoliosis is back pain, which can range from mild to severe. Chiropractors use a variety of techniques to reduce back pain, including spinal manipulation, mobilization, and soft tissue therapy. They may also recommend exercises to improve strength and flexibility, and to reduce the risk of further injury.

​

Another type of pain associated with scoliosis is neck pain, which can be caused by the curvature of the spine putting pressure on the neck. Chiropractors use techniques such as mobilization and manipulation to reduce pressure on the neck and reduce pain.

​

Scoliosis can also cause headaches, which can be caused by the curvature of the spine putting pressure on the head and neck. Chiropractors may use techniques such as spinal manipulation and mobilization to reduce pressure on the head and neck and reduce headaches.

 

Lastly, scoliosis can also cause pain in the shoulders and hips, due to the imbalance caused by the curvature of the spine, which can lead to compensations and imbalances in other areas of the body. Chiropractors use techniques such as mobilization and manipulation to reduce pressure on the shoulders and hips and reduce pain.

In addition to these techniques, chiropractors may also recommend lifestyle changes, such as exercise, weight management, and stress reduction, to help prevent scoliosis from progressing and to reduce the risk of further injury.

​

Scoliosis can be a debilitating condition, but with the help of a chiropractor, it can be effectively managed and treated. If you are experiencing pain associated with scoliosis, it is important to seek the help of a chiropractor, who can diagnose the underlying cause of your pain and develop an individualized treatment plan to help you achieve lasting relief.
