Scoliosis and the Chiropractic Lifestyle - Provided to you by Dr. Terry Akers, Las Vegas Chiropractor

If detected early enough, chiropractic doctors have had excellent success with scoliosis cases.

Scoliosis is detected by uneven shoulder heights, a loss of structural balance, or a change in posture.

Scoliosis is more often seen in girls.

The symptoms associated with scoliosis are often dismissed as “growing pains” delaying appropriate care.

It is thought that scoliosis is the result of a hereditary problem or an adaptation to some type of trauma, such as a birth process, or an injury, such as falling off a bicycle. It usually starts with problems in the lower back.

Because spinal bones continue to grow well into the early 20s, if left uncorrected, scoliosis often worsens.

Unfortunately, the most common treatment approach has been to wait and see how bad it gets, resorting to unsightly braces, or eventually surgery, if it progresses too far.

The chiropractic approach is to use specific spinal adjustments, often combined with corrective exercises. If detected early enough, chiropractic doctors have had excellent success with scoliosis cases.

Early detection and chiropractic correction is important for optimum result. Do you know someone who could benefit from a chiropractic examination?
