Scoliosis is an abnormal curvature of the spine; it is a spinal disorder, NOT a disease.  A variety of nerve and muscle disorders can produce scoliosis. Since there are no medication to treat scoliosis early detection is extremely important. Our doctors may deliver a series of gentle adjustments to prevent further malformation or alleviate some of the more debilitating aspects of scoliosis. If left untreated a scoliotic spine can progress into permanent bodily disfigurement along with compression of the internal organs. The sensible course to follow during a child’s growing years is a regular schedule of check ups by your Chiropractor.
