Chiropractic is an effective strategy of helping scoliosis when treated correctly. Scoliosis comes from the greek word skolios which means crooked. It is an abnormality where the spine has a side to side curvature. Scoliosis is classified as either congenital or idiopathic. The cause of the idiopathic type is unknown. It may also be referred to as musculoskeletal scoliosis when it really is brought on by another condition including trauma or atrophy of the spinal muscles.

Chiropractic care involves the manipulation of spinal subluxation (when one or more of the bones of your spine move out of position and create pressure on your nerves). Because the spine protects the spinal cord, which feeds your nervous system, which in turns control all the functions of your body, it is very important to keep your spine properly align so it can protect the vulnerable spinal cord. Chiropractic care has been proven effective and for many years, people have favored the use of this scientific healing technique. Although there are controversies about it, today, both medical practitioners and chiropractors are working together to provide comprehensive care for people’s health problems.

Scoliosis is a painful debilitating condition of the spine that affects more than 20 million people in the United States. Treatment of scoliosis of the spine ranges from observation, to physical therapy, to bracing and in the most advanced cases, anterior or posterior spinal fusion surgery. Surgery is recommended if the progression of the disease is more than 40-50 degrees. Spinal fusion is the most common type of scoliosis surgery performed. This surgical treatment for scoliosis involves placing grafted bone in the vertebral column so that the column becomes fused. Planning for this surgery involved the surgical professional reviewing X-rays to determine a plan of care.

Numerous types of ailments could be the source of your back ache. It could be as simple as scoliosis, a curvature of the spine commonly found in juveniles. Or it could be as complicated as herniated discs, the cushions between your vertebrae that have compressed to the point of eruption and are pressing against nerves or are deteriorated to the point that bone rubs on bone. There are many other conditions to consider that could be the pain-causing culprit, such as bulging discs, displacement, or fissures.

Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine that occurs most often during childhood but it is seen in all age groups. In order to help prevent scoliosis from worsening, early detection is critical. The screening test used most often in schools and in the offices of pediatricians and primary care physicians is called the Adams forward bend test. The patient bends forward dangling the arms, with the feet together and knees straight. The curve of structural scoliosis is more apparent when bending over. In a patient with scoliosis, the examiner may observe an imbalanced rib cage, with one side being higher than the other, or other deformities. The typical treatment options for scoliosis involve the following: bracing, surgery, or chiropractic care.
