​​Scoliosis and KST Chiropractic Care

Picture
Scoliosis

Scoliosis is an abnormal sideways curve of the spine. Everyone’s spine has natural curves; however, those suffering from scoliosis have spines that also curve from side to side, independent from posture. The spine of a person with scoliosis looks more like an “S” or a “C” rather than a straight line. It usually does begin as a postural distortion, but may eventually become a permanent deformity. Allowed to advance, it may interfere with the lungs, heart and many other vital organs.

Why Does Scoliosis Occur?
Scoliosis is called an idiopathic disease because the cause is unknown. It is often caused by neuromuscular conditions (cerebral palsy or muscular dystrophy), birth defects that affect bones of the spine to develop, and infections of the spine. Other causes of scoliosis include bone collapse, major back surgery and osteoporosis.
​
How KST Chiropractic Care Can Help Scoliosis:
Dr. Pat uses KST Chiropractic Care for gentle and effective adjustments and may possibly include bio-feedback training for maximum results.  Usually, scoliosis correction depends on age, how much you’re likely to grow, how much curving there is, and potential for adaptability.  Significant research suggests that the function and structure of the spine can be improved by chiropractic adjustments, thus relieving the discomfort associated with scoliosis.  Dr. Pat has had success with many scoliosis cases and enjoys working with children and young adults to improve health outcomes, naturally.
