What Is Scoliosis?
Scoliosis is an abnormal curve in the spine causing misalignment
Scoliosis, or side-curvature of the spine, often occurs when children are just entering puberty, which is a stressful enough time without also having to deal with a physical limitation. The cause is not always known, although rarer forms are connected to neuromuscular origins, muscular dystrophy or cerebral palsy. Yet through a range of treatments including specific chiropractic adjustments, progressive rehabilitation, and postural correction scoliosis-specific treatment recovery is possible. Scoliosis can cause several other imbalances in the shoulders, hips, legs, and feet if it’s not addressed early on. Shoulder un-leveling, pelvic misalignment and flat feet are conditions that may develop when scoliosis progresses. Whatever the cause of the scoliosis our team of doctors and healthcare providers are here to help!
If you or someone you know has scoliosis, regardless of the cause, we can help reduce symptoms and regain function – call us to begin recovery!
Detecting Scoliosis In Children
We Can Detect And Treat Scoliosis Development In Children
Children with moderate and severe cases of scoliosis will often need more intervention than physiotherapy alone. Bracing is common for moderate scoliosis. Typically surgery is only of last resort and only when there are complications like breathing pain or chest pain due to excessive spinal curve.
In mild cases, however, chiropractic, physiotherapy, massage therapy, and acupuncture is enough to see measurable reduction in pain and improvement in pain free living. Physical therapy can also help manage scoliosis related back pain by training the body and spine to move well and function properly.
Don’t delay call us today and start your recovery to improve your health!
Scoliosis Treatment Involves Chiropractic and Physiotherapy
Our scoliosis treatment program will help resolve persistent pain
In general, a lack of alignment in the upper body may indicate that a child has scoliosis. Specifically, if one hip and/or one shoulder looks higher than the other, or one shoulder blade seems to be more easily discernible than the other, scoliosis may be a factor.
In more advanced cases, worsening back pain, a pronounced curve in the spine, or ribs that are noticeably more prominent on one side can be an indicator that scoliosis is progressively worsening. In severe cases the scoliosis may encroach on the organs, lungs and heart causing organ trouble, difficulty in breathing, or excessive stress on the heart may occur, as your ribs press against one or both lungs.
Our team of healthcare providers can help you limit the impact of scoliosis and reduce the possibility of surgery to correct the curve in a natural way without surgery. Both adults and children will benefit from conservative treatment with our chiropractic, physiotherapy, acupuncture and massage treatments to reduce the severity and symptoms of scoliosis.
At Axis Health Center Our Spine Care Programs Help Reduce Scoliosis Related Pain
Our Saskatoon chiropractor, physiotherapy and acupuncture programs can help you retrain your body to function more effectively with your particular alignment issues. In addition, physiotherapy increases your range of motion, as well as builds strength in parts of your body that have been weakened through misalignment from scoliosis.
Our physiotherapy will strengthen the spine to maintain better alignment and function. Through specific and targeted chiropractic adjustments the spine will begin to move properly to reduce pain and support better spine alignment. If you have scoliosis you can benefit from physiotherapy and chiropractic care to improve spinal alignment and reduce scoliosis related pain. Call us today and start your recovery!
By working on the posture of the spine curve our healthcare providers can provide relief that is cause from the scoliosis. Reducing rib compression from the spinal curve and regaining proper movement and motion in the spine will help you get relief from scoliosis. It’s always better to catch the scoliosis diagnosis in childhood and begin treatment to reduce pain and discomfit as the child grows and ages.
Chiropractic, physiotherapy, massage therapy, or acupuncture are useful for scoliosis patients who have muscles and joints which have stiffened over time. Through your chiropractor, acupuncturist and massage therapist will ease this tension, while redirecting movement.
