[Murray, August 5, 2016] – Apollo Chiropractor, a chiropractic clinic in Utah, explains the danger of scoliosis and how to stop its progress. For years now, the clinic has performed specific chiropractic adjustments to correct scoliosis and improve the spine’s structure and function.

The care providers from Apollo Chiropractor shed some light on the condition, including its causes, potential consequences, and treatment:

Is scoliosis preventable?

The cause of scoliosis varies, Apollo Chiropractor explains, but early detection of the problem can increase the likelihood of correction. It affects females more frequently than males, usually between the ages of 8 and 18. Some cases are congenital, referring to patients born with this spinal deviation. Others acquire it in later in life from assuming an incorrect head and hip position (habitual).

How is scoliosis detected?

If normal, the spine should appear straight from the back. Any type of sideways curvature (bending of the spine) should cause some worry, Apollo Chiropractic advises. On the onset, when it is easiest to correct, symptoms rarely show, the clinic adds. They often manifest in poor fitting of clothes in the low hip or high shoulder, as well as leg and back pains often dismissed as “growing pains”.

What are the possible consequences of scoliosis?

Apollo Chiropractor stresses that “neglect is the biggest danger”. If scoliosis advances, it will eventually affect the heart, lungs, and other vital organs.

How can chiropractic care help?

Chiropractic is more likely to succeed if scoliosis is detected early, aided by a thorough examination of the patient’s spinal condition. The chiropractor can proceed with corrective action comprising a program of specific chiropractic adjustments. These help correct the spine’s anatomy and physiology, as well as strengthen the muscles without resorting to surgery.

Apollo Chiropractor describes scoliosis as a condition that can lead to physical pain and emotional suffering. With the right chiropractic care, patients can regain their health, posture and self-esteem.
