Scoliosis is a condition characterized by an abnormal side-to-side curvature of the spine. It may develop in childhood or adolescence, leading to uneven shoulders, waist asymmetry, or visible curvature in the back. In adults, scoliosis can arise from degenerative changes or long-standing postural imbalances. People with scoliosis may experience muscle tightness, back or neck pain, and restricted movement, all of which can limit participation in sports, social events, and even day-to-day tasks.
Chiropractic care for scoliosis focuses on reducing pain, improving spinal alignment, and maintaining joint flexibility. Treatment may include chiropractic adjustments, targeted exercises, posture correction, and gentle muscle therapies. While chiropractic care cannot cure scoliosis, it can help manage symptoms, support better function, and improve quality of life in many cases.
