The odds are that you have heard about scoliosis, but you may not be familiar with the pain and the danger this condition poses. While scoliosis is a threat to your overall health, chiropractic care in Oakland, CA, can help you manage the symptoms. At Equilibrium Spinal Care, we can help you manage scoliosis pain.

What Is Scoliosis?

This condition is the abnormal curvature of the spinal cord. While scoliosis may be congenital or occur after an infection or injury to the back, many scoliosis causes are unknown.

A small percentage of Americans have some form of scoliosis — some are born with it, and others acquire it as they age. The severity of scoliosis depends on the degree of the spinal curvature. Minor curvature may not affect your quality of life as much, but severe spinal curvature may compress your chest column, leading to breathing difficulties.

How Our Chiropractor Treats Scoliosis

As mentioned, chiropractic care can help you manage pain. Aligning your back reduces pressure on the spinal nerves, reducing pain and improving mobility. After a proper diagnosis of your scoliosis, our chiropractor may devise one or a combination of the below treatments to manage your scoliosis pain:

  • Spinal manipulation: This treatment involves repositioning out-of-position spinal joints. Spinal adjustment aligns the spinal muscles, reducing pressure on the nervous system. As a result, scoliosis patients experience reduced pain, improved posture, and enhanced mobility.
  • Massage therapy: This treatment relieves pain by relaxing muscles tightened by scoliosis. The abnormal curvature of the back stretches your back muscles. Over time, the muscles become accustomed to this position, forming knots that cause back pain and inflexibility. Chiropractic massage relaxes tense muscles, improving circulation, reducing pain, and bringing overall relief.
