Scoliosis

Remember being pulled aside at some point in grade school to have your back looked at? That was to check for scoliosis which is a condition common more in females than in males and can affect anyone from infants to adults. Curves in your spine are normal, but scoliosis is when there is an abnormal curve in your spine.

In most cases of scoliosis, there is no real known cause. In limited  cases, however, it has been linked to genetics, deformities, or other diseases or conditions present in the patient. Pretty common in children because their bodies are still developing, kids are usually checked for scoliosis at some point in school.

Treatment for scoliosis usually involves either observation, a brace, or surgery to correct the issue. To figure out how significant your scoliosis is, make an appointment to help determine what the best method of treatment should be. Don’t hesitate…find our location closest to you today!
