Chiropractic Care for Scoliosis in Orchard
Scoliosis is an abnormal sideways curve of the spine that usually develops during the teenage years but can also be found in adults. The curve is measured in degrees, with mild cases beginning at 10 degrees and more severe cases reaching 40 degrees or beyond. While severe scoliosis is often identified earlier in life, many adults live with the condition, sometimes without realising the cause of their discomfort until later on.
When Symptoms Show Up in Daily Life
The way scoliosis shows up varies, but there are a few noticeable patterns. People may notice uneven shoulders, a tilted waistline, or one hip appearing higher than the other. Posture imbalances are common, and back pain often develops because muscles work harder on one side of the body than the other. In some cases, fatigue, stiffness, or limited mobility can affect how easily a person sits, stands, or exercises.
How Chiropractic Assessment Helps
If scoliosis is suspected or previously diagnosed, an X-ray is needed to confirm and measure the exact degree of curvature. At Genesis Chiropractic, this step is combined with posture scans, mobility testing, and a full review of your health history. These steps help determine whether chiropractic care is suitable and what type of adjustments or strategies are suited to your individual condition, age, and lifestyle.
Care Options for Scoliosis Management
Chiropractic care cannot promise to straighten the spine, but it can help with comfort, posture, and mobility. Gentle adjustments may ease restricted joints, while targeted exercises and posture training strengthen supporting muscles. Lifestyle advice, stretching routines, or home equipment may also be recommended to prevent stiffness from building up.
While some patients notice improvements in posture over time, the focus is always on better function, reduced discomfort, and long-term spinal health.
