“My daughters back looks crooked.” Can chiropractic help with a scoliosis?
60%-80% of scoliosis cases occur in school-age girls. The condition may first be discovered in a child when one shoulder seems higher than the other or when clothes don't hang straight. Initially, pain is not present but the child may mention that their back is tired when standing or sitting for long periods.
Misalignments of the spine at a young age can lead to curvatures and scoliosis that cause discomfort and pain later on. Many chiropractors report excellent results in the care of scoliosis. If caught early enough curve reductions may be made through appropriate chiropractic care.
From birth to adolescence and beyond, have your children checked regularly by your chiropractor for the prevention of spinal subluxations that may lead to curvatures.
