Scoliosis is a structural condition characterized by an abnormal sideways curvature of the spine, often forming an “S” or “C” shape. While it is frequently diagnosed during childhood or adolescence, adults can also develop degenerative scoliosis due to asymmetrical wear on the spinal joints over time.
Identifying Physical Signs of Scoliosis
- Uneven shoulder heights, with one blade protruding more than the other
- An asymmetrical waistline, causing one hip to sit visibly higher
- A subtle head tilt that does not align directly over the center of the pelvis
- Chronic muscular fatigue on one side of the back from continuous compensation
Our Structural Balancing Protocols
While conservative chiropractic care cannot structurally straighten a fully matured scoliotic curve, it is vital for managing symptoms and preserving function. We focus on adjusting the restricted joints above and below the
curvature, evening out muscular imbalances, and utilizing structural exercises to optimize overall biomechanics and keep you moving without pain.
