Chiropractic Care for Scoliosis in Howard
Scoliosis refers to a sideways curvature of the spine that may develop during childhood or adolescence, although it can also be identified in adults. The degree of curvature can vary significantly between individuals.
At Howard Chiropractic, Dr Tracy Suzanne provides personalised assessment and chiropractic care for individuals with scoliosis or concerns about spinal alignment.
Understanding Scoliosis
The spine normally has gentle natural curves when viewed from the side. In scoliosis, the spine develops an additional sideways curve that may alter posture or spinal balance.
Some people with scoliosis experience symptoms such as stiffness, muscle tension or discomfort, while others may have minimal symptoms and only notice postural differences.
Scoliosis may sometimes be identified through changes such as uneven shoulders, a visible spinal curve or differences in hip height. Assessment is important in understanding the degree of curvature and how it may be influencing movement and function.
How Chiropractic Care May Help
Chiropractic care focuses on supporting the movement and function of the spine and surrounding muscles. For individuals with scoliosis, assessment may involve examining spinal movement, posture and muscle balance.
Treatment may aim to support areas of spinal restriction, improve mobility and address muscular tension that can develop as the body compensates for changes in spinal alignment.
Where appropriate, exercises or movement advice may also be provided to help support spinal stability and posture.
Personalised Care for Scoliosis
Every case of scoliosis is different, and management depends on factors such as age, the degree of spinal curvature and the presence of symptoms.
Dr Tracy takes the time to understand each individual presentation before recommending care. Treatment recommendations are tailored to the patient and adjusted depending on response to care.
For some people, the focus may be on managing symptoms such as stiffness or tension, while for others the goal may be to support mobility and posture.
