Living with Scoliosis

If you have scoliosis, the discomfort can limit your mobility and affect your quality of life. Not only that, but the condition can also worsen without proper care. At Lubbock Advanced Physical Medicine in Lubbock, TX, we provide various treatments to reduce your symptoms and help you feel your best. Before visiting us, learn about some ways you can manage scoliosis below:

Chiropractic Care for Scoliosis

First, it’s important to acknowledge that chiropractic care, on its own, may not be enough to cure scoliosis. This condition is characterized by a sideway curve in the spine and it doesn’t need to be corrected if it is mild. Instead, it’s important to receive treatment to minimize chronic pain and other symptoms. However, in severe cases, surgery or a brace may be required to straighten the spine.

Scoliosis is characterized by a sideways bend in the spine. In many cases, mild scoliosis doesn’t need to be corrected, but instead, you can develop a care plan to minimize chronic pain and other issues. However, with severe cases, it may be necessary to use surgery or braces to straighten out the spine.

When you visit us, we will discus your symptoms with you and perform a physical exam. Afterward, our chiropractors will create a personalized treatment plan for your specific needs. Your care plan may include chiropractic adjustments, which can help realign the spine and provide relief. Along with that, we might recommend spinal decompression to take pressure off of the spine and ease your symptoms.

Nutrition and Exercise to Improve Quality of Life

Scoliosis can result in chronic pain, poor posture, and other issues. Our chiropractors can work with you to mitigate pain and strain. The right hands-on scoliosis treatments in combination with other forms of care can greatly improve quality of life. If a child is in pain, he or she may struggle with learning in school. Not only that, but walking and sitting can also be difficult and impact their daily activities.

By taking the right steps now, it’s possible to improve your quality of life and prevent the condition from becoming worse. This is especially important with kids since scoliosis is often diagnosed in childhood. In addition to chiropractic care, we also provide nutritional counseling and therapeutic exercises. We can suggest healthy foods to consume to reduce inflammation and lower your pain. Additionally, we’ll show you exercises you can perform at home that can strengthen your muscles.
