At the Total Wellness Center, we take great pride in the level of care that we provide to our patients. We are able to treat a wide variety of conditions and syndrome; however, one of the most common reasons why our patients come to see us is for back pain treatment. While there are numerous reasons why are patients might suffer from back pain, one of the most common concerns we see is scoliosis. What are some of the key points that everyone should note about scoliosis?
First, scoliosis is a medical term that is used to refer to the abnormal curvature of the spine either from right to left or from left to right. While kyphosis and lordosis are used to describe front to back curvature, scoliosis is used to describe lateral curvature. There are a number of reasons why patients might suffer from scoliosis; however, most cases of scoliosis take place as people grow and develop. As a result, this condition commonly presents during childhood and progresses during the teenage years.
Similar to other medical conditions, the severity of scoliosis can vary widely. Some of the most common symptoms include back pain, reduced mobility, and a feeling of weakness in the lower back or the legs.
There are several types of scoliosis that someone could be diagnosed with. These include:
Fortunately, there are several treatment options available to address scoliosis.
Those who are looking for scoliosis pain relief and treatment should note that there are multiple treatment options available. Many people believe that they need to have surgery in order to address this problem. Fortunately, this is not always the case. Some of the other treatment options include:
Chiropractic Care: A trained chiropractor is able to look at varying degrees of scoliosis and tailor a treatment plan to the needs of the patient. Using back braces, physical therapy, controlled adjustments, and manual therapy, the vertebrae can be gradually moved back into the proper locations, helping scoliosis patients recover without surgery.
Acupuncture: Often, acupuncture is also used as a treatment method for scoliosis. Using acupuncture, small needles can be placed in specific locations that can influence the way signals flows between the back and the brain. In this manner, acupuncture can help patients relax while also providing a significant amount of pain relief.
These are just a few of the multiple treatment options that are available to address scoliosis. If you are looking for scoliosis pain relief, then look no further than us.
