Learn About Scoliosis Solutions With A Hermosa Beach Chiropractor Who Is Experienced

By Lance Thorington


The curvature of the spine, scoliosis, most often begins before puberty. In most cases, the cause is undetermined. However, some are caused by cerebral palsy or muscular dystrophy. Many sufferers turn to Hermosa Beach Chiropractic to find a solution for alleviating the pain associated with this affliction.

Sometimes the condition grows more painful as a child grows older. But, in most cases, symptoms are mild and remain mild. Signified by uneven shoulders or waist, it can cause pain and difficulty in breathing in a severe form.

Many schools test the children for this condition during gym class. There is a test called the Adams Forward Bending Test that asks the child to bend forward and allow someone to check for an abnormal alignment of the spine. Any abnormality is referred for chiropractic care.

A list of questions are asked and answered to pinpoint the extent of the pain and limitations of movement. A physical as well as visual exam is conducted. In some instances, an x-ray or MRI is ordered to complete the assessment.

There was a research study conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of a chiropractic program devised to halt the progression of scoliosis in adults. It included an exercise routine. Results were assessed at the end of six months and again after another twenty-four months.

Twenty-eight clients were included in the program of chiropractic care. They were cared for using the same rehabilitative methods for six months. Improvement was recorded in the form of pain reduction, and other parameters as measured at the end of the six-month period. The improvement that was noted at that time was maintained. That was confirmed after a two-year interval.

Spinal adjustments have been used to maintain flexibility of the facet joints. It helps in pain reduction. A client will benefit by continuing regular office visits to be monitored by the chiropractor. Physical change will be noted and any necessary physical limitations can be imposed.
