Scoliosis affects a significant number of children. It is a condition whereby a curvature of the spine is present and can cause related problems and symptoms which, in the worst cases can be serious. At Santa Clarita Chiropractic the therapists have a natural method which can help relieve symptoms and discomfort.

Scoliosis can be present at birth or start later, usually in the years of physical growth. It is diagnosed by a range of tests but ultimately is considered present when the curve in the spine reaches a certain degree. Children grow in spurts and so the condition can change and worsen quite quickly. Current treatments include braces, physiotherapy and surgery.

Chiropractic therapy involves making adjustments to the spine to keep it healthy and balanced. The theory is that a healthy spine allows the correct function of the nervous system and following from that the good health of the whole body.

There are different ways of making the spinal adjustments. The Activator Method uses a small tool which takes the necessary measurements and can then make the adjustments. The advantages of this method are that the pressure applied is very precise and uses less force. This means that it is gentler than conventional chiropractic and therefore better for use on children.

The risks associated with chiropractic treatment are few, especially when compared with medications. The main risks are internal bleeding and bone fracture. However with the Activator Method these risks are reduced greatly because less pressure is applied. Also because there is less pressure the tendency of the body to resist the movements is less and therefore strain on the spine and muscles is minimal. This means that this therapy is appropriate for children with scoliosis.

The Activator Method used by Santa Clarita Chiropractic is a natural, gentle therapy for children with scoliosis. Contact them to find out how they can provide relief for your child.
