Scoliosis

What causes Scoliosis?
* Congenital or bone abnormality present at birth
* Abnormal muscles or nerves seen in people with spina bifida or conditions resulting in paralysis
* Degenerative or trauma from an injury or illness
* Idiopathic or no known identifiable cause (most common)

Scoliosis can impact the quality of life with restricted activity, pain, decreased respiratory function, or diminished positive self-image.

For mild scoliosis, the chiropractic approach is to use specific spinal adjustments and exercise therapy. Early detection is important for optimum results.
