Chiropractic and scoliosis
Chiropractic is a discipline that performs manual adjustments in addition to other techniques to improve the alignment of the spine. It is important to remember that when there is scoliosis, the spine has an abnormal curvature that can vary in severity and intensity.
Thanks to the adjustments that can be made through chiropractic, it is possible to improve the alignment of the spine and, therefore, combat the effects of scoliosis. One of the most immediate benefits that chiropractic offers to those suffering from scoliosis is pain relief.
Beyond pain relief, making the necessary adjustments to the vertebrae helps improve a person’s flexibility. By improving flexibility, the person achieves not only pain relief, but also expands the range of motion that was previously limited, which serves to restore the autonomy that the person had before the scoliosis.
As mentioned, scoliosis can vary in severity or intensity. Thanks to chiropractic, in some cases, the severity of scoliosis can be prevented from becoming more severe. This is especially noticeable in children or adolescents, as the chiropractic adjustment serves to slow the progression of the curvature.
In addition to this, chiropractors will help the person to improve their posture. This can be done through exercises or advice that teaches the person to continually improve their posture to prevent further back problems.
Chiropractic scoliosis
The manual adjustments that are carried out should always be practiced by a specialized chiropractor. In our center we work with the best chiropractors in Barcelona and the experience and ability of the chiropractor is very important for the results to be as desired.
Having these adjustments performed by a specialized chiropractor ensures that the sessions are pain-free and that the adjustments are performed in the areas where they are most needed.
The chiropractor’s expertise in treating scoliosis is important beyond adjustments. Prior to these it is necessary to carry out a complete study or evaluation to determine the best treatment plan and, of course, recommend specific exercises that serve to strengthen the muscles or relieve the tension of these.
What is scoliosis and what are its symptoms?
Knowing the symptoms of scoliosis will help you determine if you should see a chiropractor for pain relief. Scoliosis is an abnormal curvature of the spine that, instead of being in a straight line, curves to one side. Although this condition may primarily affect adolescents, it can manifest itself at any age.
Scoliosis can present different degrees and it is important to keep in mind that, when it is mild, it may not present any type of symptom. As scoliosis progresses, the symptoms become more visible and can be seen with the naked eye.
Some of the symptoms that are noticeable in scoliosis are when the shoulders are unequal, that is, one is higher than the other. Also this inequality can be in the waist affecting balance or with misaligned hips. Asymmetrical shoulder blades can also be a symptom and, as mentioned above, one of the most characteristic symptoms is back pain.
Different types of scoliosis
There are different types of scoliosis. Idiopathic scoliosis is the most common and its cause is unknown. This scoliosis can be classified by age, i.e., it can be infantile, juvenile or adolescent.
Another type of scoliosis is congenital scoliosis. Congenital scoliosis is present at birth and the cause is due to different problems in the formation of the vertebrae.
Finally, neuromuscular scoliosis is the type of scoliosis caused by conditions affecting the muscles and nerves, for example, caused by cerebral palsy or muscular dystrophy.
