WHAT IS SCOLIOSIS?
There has been a large amount of research done on the root of scoliosis but there is no clear answer as to why it develops. Studies do suggest that it is more common in young women. In most cases, a slight curvature of the spine starts with one vertebra being out of place.
When this happens, muscles in the spine tend to favor certain parts of the spine and create imbalances. As this occurs, the spine starts curving to compensate for all the slight imbalances and misalignments in the spine. Scoliosis cannot be fixed simply by being mindful and attempting to stand up straighter like other spine ailments.
HOW CAN CHIROPRACTIC HELP?
Like most conditions, individuals would be wise to try the least invasive and most natural methods of therapy first. Research has shown that chiropractic care is effective in treating scoliosis.
