Scoliosis, characterized by an abnormal curvature of the spine, is a condition that can significantly impact a person's quality of life if left untreated. Learn more about how scoliosis affects day-to-day living and how regular chiropractic care from Houma-Thibodaux Spine & Rehabilitation in Houma and Thibodaux can help relieve pain and improve mobility.

What Is Scoliosis?

Scoliosis commonly causes back pain that can range from mild to severe. The abnormal spinal curvature places stress on the muscles, joints, ligaments, and discs, often leading to muscle spasms, reduced range of motion, and chronic aching or stiffness in the back. The pain worsens with physical activity and extended periods of sitting or standing.

How Can Scoliosis Affect You?

The abnormal curvature of scoliosis also commonly causes the shoulders, hips, or head to tilt to one side, affecting balance and posture. People with scoliosis are prone to slouching and leaning to one side to compensate for the uneven alignment. Without treatment, the condition tends to progress over time, causing increasingly limited mobility.

How Can a Chiropractor Help?

Seeing a chiropractor provides non-invasive, drug-free treatment that can significantly improve scoliosis symptoms. Gentle chiropractic adjustments help improve spinal alignment and take pressure off compressed nerves. Stretches, exercises, and manual therapies further help strengthen muscles and increase the range of motion.
