Scoliosis

Scoliosis is a condition characterized by an abnormal sideways curvature of the spine, often resembling an "S" or "C" shape. While it can develop at any age, scoliosis is most commonly diagnosed during adolescence. The severity of scoliosis varies, with some cases causing minimal discomfort and others leading to significant pain, reduced mobility, and complications with posture or organ function. Early detection and proper care can make a significant difference in managing the condition.

Common Causes of Scoliosis

Idiopathic Scoliosis: Most cases have no known cause, often appearing in children and teenagers during growth spurts.
Congenital Scoliosis: Caused by abnormal spinal development before birth.
Neuromuscular Conditions: Conditions like cerebral palsy or muscular dystrophy may lead to scoliosis due to muscle imbalance.
Degenerative Scoliosis: Develops in adulthood as a result of spinal wear and tear, often linked to arthritis or disc degeneration.
Trauma or Injuries: Accidents or spinal injuries can sometimes lead to scoliosis.

How Chiropractic Care Can Help

At Nexus Health Center, we take a neurological approach to addressing neck pain, focusing on the underlying causes to provide lasting relief. Here’s how we can help:

Spinal Adjustments: Using the Torque Release Technique, we reduce spinal misalignments, helping to improve posture and alleviate discomfort caused by scoliosis.
Pain Reduction: Adjustments relieve pressure on the nerves and muscles, reducing pain and tension associated with scoliosis.
Improved Mobility: Chiropractic care enhances flexibility and range of motion, making everyday movements easier.
Support for the Nervous System: By addressing nerve interference, we help your body function at its best.
Personalized Care Plans: We design a customized care plan that may include posture correction exercises, stretches, and ergonomic recommendations to support long-term spinal health.
