What is Scoliosis?

Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine that occurs most commonly before puberty. The cause of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis is unknown. Some scoliosis cases in children are mild, but they do have the potential to progress rapidly as children grow.  

What you need to know:

It’s important to have your child evaluated by a qualified health care provider early to detect and prevent scoliosis progression as they age.  Often times, full spine x-rays are necessary for proper evaluation.  Severe scoliosis can be disabling and often leads to invasive surgeries if left untreated. Other types of scoliosis can stem from neurological disorders, certain spinal deformities, and for adults – traumatic injuries that were not treated effectively.  These types of scoliosis require very specific evaluation.

Life Expressions Scoliosis Center was one of the pioneering clinics to provide advanced bracing using ScoliBrace™ when it became available in the U.S. and Canada in 2013. This clinical approach gives patients the tools to make positive changes both at home and in the clinic.

Chiropractic adjusting alone typically does not offset moderate to severe scoliosis in a way that effectively prevents progression.  However, combining specific chiropractic adjusting techniques with the most advanced corrective techniques of ScoliBrace and Chiropractic Bio-Physics, significant correction is attainable.
