Understanding Scoliosis and Its Impact

Scoliosis causes the spine to curve sideways, which can create uneven pressure on the muscles, joints, and nerves surrounding the spine. This imbalance often leads to chronic back pain, muscle fatigue, and postural changes that can affect mobility and comfort over time. While chiropractic care does not reverse the structural curve of scoliosis, it can play an important role in managing associated pain and improving function.

How Chiropractic Care Supports Scoliosis Management

Dr. Leidich evaluates the degree and impact of your spinal curvature to determine how chiropractic care can help. Gentle, targeted adjustments can help reduce muscle tension and improve mobility in the areas most affected by the curve. Physiotherapy is often incorporated to strengthen supporting muscles and improve postural balance, while laser therapy may help manage inflammation and discomfort associated with muscle strain from scoliosis.

Signs Scoliosis May Be Affecting Your Health

  • Uneven shoulders or hips
  • Chronic back pain or muscle fatigue
  • Visible curvature of the spine
  • One shoulder blade appearing more prominent than the other
  • Pain that worsens with prolonged standing or sitting
