How Chiropractic Helps Patients With Scoliosis

Managing scoliosis can be challenging whether you're an adult or a teenager. Adding chiropractic to your treatment regimen offers a natural way to relieve pain and improve comfort.

Are You Struggling With Any Of These Scoliosis Symptoms?

Normally, the vertebrae that make up your spine form a straight line down your back when viewed from behind. When you have scoliosis, your spine may look like an "S" or "C" instead. The abnormal curvatures may strain or irritate your muscles, bones, spinal discs, tendons, ligaments, and nerves, causing a variety of symptoms, including:

-Pain in Your Back, Shoulders, Ribs, Hips, or Neck
Sciatica (pain that travels from your lower back to your buttocks and legs)
--Sore Muscles
Numbness in Your Arms, Hands, Legs, or Feet
-Chronic Headaches
-Muscle Weakness
-Posture Changes
-Trouble Breathing (scoliosis can decrease space in your rib cage and make it difficult for your lungs to expand fully when breathing. This usually only happens in severe cases.)
-Scoliosis can also affect the way clothing fits or looks if one shoulder or hip becomes higher than the other.

Which Disc Conditions Do Chiropractors Treat?

Do you suffer from back or neck pain caused by a disc condition? A visit to the chiropractor can relieve pain, numbness, tingling, and other symptoms. Chiropractors use a variety of therapies designed to improve your comfort and ease of movement.

What Do Spinal Discs Do?

Rubbery discs cushion the space between individual vertebrae in the spine. The discs behave like shock absorbers and give your spine the flexibility it needs to move, twist, and bend. Discs consist of a soft, gel-like interior encased in a tougher outer covering.

Discs may become damaged due to injuries, stress, or wear and tear. Unfortunately, wear and tear is hard to avoid and is a natural part of aging. As you get older, the flexibility and water content of your spinal discs decreases, resulting in a thinner disc more prone to damage.

No matter what the cause of your disc condition, chiropractic treatments reduce pain, improve mobility, and may even help you avoid surgery.

Spinal Conditions Chiropractors Treat

Your chiropractor offers effective treatments for these disc conditions:

-Herniated Discs. A herniated disc happens when the outer layer of a spinal disc ruptures and the interior material pushes through that tear. The protruding section of the disc presses on nerves, causing pain, numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness. Disc herniations often affect the neck and lower back. Men between 20 and 50 are particularly at risk for herniated discs, according to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgery. Other risk factors include repetitive activities, being overweight, poor lifting technique, smoking, a sedentary lifestyle, and driving for long periods.
Bulging Discs. Bulging discs happen when the disc's inner core pushes against the outer layer without breaking through it. The bulging section of the disc increases pressure on nerve roots, causing stiffness and pain.
-Degenerative Disc Disease. Age-related wear and tear is the cause of degenerative disc disease. Thinning discs lose their ability to adequately cushion the spine and could be the reason your back or neck is stiff and painful. Degenerative disc disease can affect flexibility and range of motion. Pain may be worse in certain positions, such as sitting or bending. Disc degeneration may begin as early as 40, although you might not feel any pain at this stage, according to the Arthritis Foundation.
-Disc-Related Sciatica. Sciatica happens due to inflammation and irritation of the sciatic nerve that travels from the lower back to the foot. Bulging or herniated discs press on the nerve, causing pain. Although the problem disc may be in your lower back, pain radiates along the nerve path to your buttock, leg, or foot.
Treating Disc Conditions with Chiropractic Care

Chiropractors use several treatments to relieve symptoms of disc conditions, including:

Promoting Your Body's Natural Energy

Improving Your Body's Natural Energy Level with Chiropractic

Everything in life seems much harder when you're constantly tired and rundown. Luckily, chiropractic treatment can boost your energy level, in addition to providing benefits for your joints and muscles,

How Joint and Muscle Problems Affect Energy and Health

Constant fatigue is a sign that something isn't quite right with your body. Fatigue can be due to illness and stress, but may also occur when your body becomes imbalanced.

Your organs, tissues, muscles, and joints work best when your body is properly aligned. Unfortunately, it only takes a slightly misaligned vertebra or a tight muscle or tendon to cause imbalances that can be subtle or very noticeable. For example, a spinal misalignment, or subluxation, could make one of your legs shorter than the other or one shoulder higher than the other.

Muscles and tissues that become too tight may pull on joints and vertebrae or press on nerves. Although nerve pressure may cause pain, that's not always the case. You could suffer from a slight nerve impingement without being aware of the problem.

In addition to causing pain, pressure on nerves may interfere with the normal functioning of organs and your immune system...

The Benefits of Chiropractic Care for All Ages

Chiropractic care provides important benefits at every stage of life. Whether you're dealing with a colicky baby, an aching back, or arthritis, chiropractic treatments are aimed at easing pain, improving comfort, and supporting wellness.

Chiropractic Care for Infants, Children, and Teens

The birthing process may disrupt the alignment of the spine and stress your baby's nervous system. Chiropractic treatments adjust the spine and calm the nervous system. Treatments can start soon after birth. Chiropractors use special, gentle techniques when working with infants and young children.

Looking for a solution to colic? Babies with colic are inconsolable and cry for hours every day, no matter what you do to try to soothe them. Luckily, chiropractic treatment could calm your colicky baby. Chiropractic treatment resulted in fewer daily hours of crying in five out of six colic research studies examined by Clinical Pediatrics in 2024.

Heavy backpacks worn by children and teens can cause subluxations (spinal misalignments), in addition to changes in posture and gait. According to a 2021 Open Sports Sciences Journal review article, carrying a heavy backpack can change the curvature of the spine, compress the rubbery disks between the vertebrae, and cause low back pain in adulthood.

Your chiropractor can adjust your child's spine to correct subluxations that cause pain and stiffness...
