Scoliosis: Understanding the Condition and Chiropractic Treatment

Scoliosis can lead to uneven posture, discomfort, and limited mobility, making it harder to stay active and pain-free. While it’s a condition that can’t be cured, chiropractic care can help manage symptoms and improve spinal alignment. At Peak Chiropractic, we offer personalized care plans to alleviate pain, enhance posture, and support your overall health and well-being.

What is Scoliosis?

Scoliosis is a condition characterized by an abnormal curvature of the spine, which can appear as an “S” or “C” shape when viewed from behind. This condition often develops during adolescence, but it can also appear later in life due to factors like degeneration or injury. Scoliosis ranges from mild to severe and can affect mobility, posture, and overall quality of life.

Causes of Scoliosis

While some cases of scoliosis are idiopathic (having no known cause), other factors may include:

  • Genetic predisposition
  • Congenital spine abnormalities
  • Neuromuscular conditions
  • Injuries or trauma

How Chiropractic Care Can Help

At Peak Chiropractic, we focus on providing care that supports the spine's natural alignment and reduces the impact of scoliosis on your daily life. While chiropractic care doesn’t "cure" scoliosis, it can:

  • Alleviate discomfort and pain
  • Improve posture and spinal alignment
  • Enhance mobility and flexibility
  • Support overall spinal health

Our gentle, precise techniques are tailored to meet your specific needs and help you achieve long-term relief.

Symptoms of Scoliosis

The symptoms of scoliosis vary depending on the severity of the condition but may include:

  • Uneven Shoulders: One shoulder may appear higher than the other.
  • Asymmetrical Waist: The waist may look uneven or tilted.
  • Protruding Ribs: One side of the ribcage may appear more prominent due to the spinal curve.
  • Back Pain: Especially in adults, scoliosis can lead to chronic pain and stiffness.
  • Limited Mobility: Severe cases may restrict range of motion and flexibility.

If you recognize any of these signs, it’s essential to seek professional care. At Peak Chiropractic, we offer a thorough assessment to determine how we can help manage your scoliosis symptoms effectively.

I am personally scared of being twisted and popped and that’s not part of their practice.
Peak Chiropractic is an amazing place. Jon and Kierra are very knowledgeable and friendly! They take the time to explain everything and make sure you’re well taken care of. They specialize in starting at the root of the cause and not over doing it. I am personally scared of being twisted and popped and that’s not part of their practice. They made me feel very comfortable and the recovery room is very comforting after the adjustment. I highly recommend Peak!

Dr Jon and Dr Kyara listened to me, heard me, empathized with me, and helped me.
Peak has been a game changer for me. I have struggled with migraines for years. After a lot different trial and errors I found Peak and now I can say I have found a solution. Dr Jon and Dr Kyara listened to me, heard me, empathized with me, and helped me. They were super flexible and understanding with my busy schedule. I am more than grateful not be losing a day a week to migraines. I am excited to continue seeing them and experience even more health benefits.

My son has had one headache in 4 months. One! And his sensory issues are not even a thing anymore.
Dr. Jon and Kyara are amazing!!! I lived with severe neck and shoulder pain for 5 years, trying everything you can think of for relief. Nothing helped. One day I saw a video on Instagram that just spoke to me. It was everything I was experiencing. The videos are so informative. I called that day and set an appointment. Kyara asked me before my first adjustment if I was ready for the first day of my new life and in my mind I truly wasn’t convinced that it was going to be as magical as it has been. I’ve been there and tried that so I was hopeful but not 100% convinced. She was right, it was the first day of my new life. My pain is nothing like it was, it used to be all I could think about. I’m not perfect yet but I’m on my way there. Peak Chiropractic has changed my life. Best decision I have ever made for myself. My son (13) got a scan for frequent headaches and sensory issues. Dr. Jon had me bring him in for a scan and again was hopeful but not fully convinced and once again they were right. My son has had one headache in 4 months. One! And his sensory issues are not even a thing anymore. It has been amazing for him and I’m so grateful he is getting treatment as well. On top of all the goodness we have had since starting we also feel cared for by both Dr. Jon and Kyara. They feel like family and care about us. Kyara is also super into all around health and I am always learning things from her each time I go. Definitely life changing all the way around and I highly recommend checking them out. You will not be disappointed!
