Scoliosis Care in Burwood and Turramurra
At Wellness Chiropractic, we focus on the detection, assessment, and management of scoliosis. Our chiropractors are committed to providing complete care for patients with this spinal condition.
What Is Scoliosis?
Scoliosis is an abnormal sideways curvature of the spine that can affect people of all ages but often begins during childhood or adolescence. If left untreated, it can potentially progress to a permanent deformity, impacting posture, mobility, and overall quality of life.
What Are the Types
There are three main types of scoliosis:
- Congenital: Present at birth due to genetic factors
- Habitual: Developed through repetitive behaviours or postures
- Idiopathic: Occurring without a known cause (most common type)
Recognising the Signs
Early detection is crucial for the successful management of scoliosis. Common signs include:
- Uneven shoulders or hips
- Clothes hanging unevenly
- Uneven shoe wear
- Back or leg pain, often dismissed as “growing pains”
- Visible curve in the spine when bending forward
Our Approach
At our practice, we offer a natural, non-invasive approach to managing scoliosis through chiropractic care. Our care aims to improve spinal structure and function, strengthen and retrain muscles to support proper posture, reduce pain and discomfort associated with scoliosis, and potentially slow or halt the progression of the curve.
Through gentle adjustments, personalised exercise programs, and ongoing monitoring, we work to manage scoliosis and improve overall spinal health.
Why Early Intervention Matters
The “wait and see” approach can be risky with scoliosis, as the condition may worsen over time. Early intervention through chiropractic care may help:
- Prevent the need for more invasive treatments like bracing or surgery
- Improve posture and reduce visible asymmetry
- Alleviate pain and discomfort
- Enhance the overall quality of life
