Scoliosis & Chiropractic

Scoliosis is an abnormal sideways curvature of the spine.

It begins as a postural distortion and may become a permanent deformity. Allowed to advance, it may interfere with the lungs, heart and many other vital organs.

The 3 causes of scoliosis are:

1. Congenital genetic predisposition
2. Habitual behavioural routines
3. Idiopathic unknown cause

Regardless of cause, early detection can be helpful.

An alert parent may notice that a high shoulder or low hip make clothing fit poorly.

Uneven shoe wear can offer a clue.

Back and leg pains may develop but are often dismissed as "growing pains."

Scoliosis can worsen if left undetected. Severe cases can involve the use of body braces or surgery.

At Young Chiropractic we can not only assess for scoliosis, but can aid in improving the spinal structure and function of the spine.

We offer yearly spinal assessments for all children under the age of 18 during the months of January and February.
