Arrest the Progress of Scoliosis
November 27, 2010Your child’s school asks permission to conduct a scoliosis exam. Since he/she already gets her annual check up, is this necessary? Because scoliosis can be so harmful, your son or daughter has everything to gain from another opinion. This condition, an abnormal curvature of the spine, usually shows up in childhood or during the early teens. If it is not caught early, the curve can become worse and produce much pain and difficulty when performing normal activities. In more severe cases, surgery is necessary.

Scoliosis, affecting girls more than boys, tends to run in families. Sometimes the abnormal curvature is visible because the child has uneven shoulder blades or an unusual gait. At other times, however, the problem is unrecognizable in an external exam.
Chiropractors can identify scoliosis through both examinations and x-rays. When the condition is present, they can provide a variety of treatments including spinal adjustments to increase movement and posture and exercise techniques. If caught in time, the problem can be eased or even corrected.
