Signs of Scoliosis

The signs of scoliosis can be hard to spot quickly. This is amplified by the tendency of adolescents to avoid calling attention to themselves or anything about them that may not seem “normal.” The most common sign of scoliosis is seeing a child who noticeably tilts to one side of their body. Contrary to popular belief, a common sign of scoliosis is not pain. This is partly due to children and teenagers having resilient bodies and also because the scoliosis is not yet severe enough to cause pain.

However, even if the pain is not felt, the condition should still be addressed immediately. The easiest way to check if your child may need medical attention is to see if your child’s spine has any deviance from a perfectly straight line when looked at from behind. While not all cases of scoliosis turn severe or life-threatening, there is now way to tell if your child’s scoliosis will harmless.

The Effect of Scoliosis on Morale

While many cases of scoliosis are not obvious to most individuals, the stress of potentially being labeled “different” could affect your child. Seeing how bulky scoliosis braces are can only add to the worry. Even if you can afford the sleeker braces for your child, they can be cumbersome and must be on tightly on your child’s body constantly. The braces often can cause complications of their own such as skin chafing.

On the other extreme, a surgical procedure can permanently harm your child. There is no shortage of nerves and delicate muscles in your child’s spine. Any wrong move by a surgeon could affect your child’s life forever. A scoliosis surgery is not for the faint of heart and relies on metal bars being inserted into your child’s spine permanently.
While it may seem like there is no hope for your child, there is! There exists a safe, natural, and effective way to treat the underlying issues of scoliosis.

Believe it or not, the treatment of scoliosis is an increasingly popular reason people go to see a chiropractor. This is because chiropractic has proven itself to be effective in solving the problem at the source. Chiropractors are not interested in a temporary solution, they are interested in healing your child. The science is clear - regular chiropractic care can treat scoliosis.

Chiropractors will rely on their expertise to adjust your child’s spinal column. When the spine is aligned, your child’s spinal muscles are able to better grow and strengthen in the correct manner. This results in a spine that can overcome the abnormal curvature of scoliosis and even restore normal growth.

A misalignment of any degree is enough to throw your child’s body out of balance, this leads to a breakdown in communication between the spine and the brain. This breakdown in communication can result in certain parts of the body not functioning at their peak, in the case of scoliosis it is the proper growth of the vertebrae and spinal column. The symptoms of scoliosis are simply your child’s body letting you know it is under pressure and needs help. Luckily, chiropractors are able to solve the problem through safe, natural adjustments to their spine.
