Scoliosis treatment for adults or teenagers can be different than you think. At Whole Body Cures we use non-surgical methods. Non-invasive scoliosis treatment should included in any scoliosis treatment program.
Scoliosis treatment
Scoliosis does not have a quick fix. A good scoliosis specialist will not use an overly simplistic one-cause/one-cure methodology. Scoliosis treatment in adolescents is not just daily exercises or stretches. Successful scoliosis treatment requires a comprehensive step-by-step plan.
Roots of Scoliosis
Scoliosis is not just a misalignment that needs stretching. A scoliosis specialist does not make the correction with muscle strengthening exercises alone. Teen scoliosis treatment and scoliosis prevention must address root cause neurology, including the brain’s ability to set muscle tone. Our plan includes the causal factors contributing to spinal curvature in the first place. So we address: subtle alterations in brain function, spinal mechanics, the neuro-emotional, environmental, and internal cofactor aspects. We don’t limit scoliosis treatment to only the mechanical factors, like with: exercises, spinal adjustments, and stretching.
Recent research shows that gene expression (not permanent, or “genetic”) can play a role in adolescent scoliosis development. This is about environmental toxins that influence our genes. This is treatable via clinical nutrition, otherwise known as natural functional medicine. Nutritional co-factors also play a role in “idiopathic scoliosis.” So our comprehensive, integrative chiropractic plan integrates all of these factors into our non-surgical scoliosis treatment program.
Aspects of scoliosis treatment Orange County
Stopping pain from scoliosis does not require correction of the curvature. Full correction of the curvature is rare. In adults, curvature correction may be minimal, but your ability to function with less pain and dysfunction is our goal. In teenagers, there is a greater chance to make a correction of the curvature.
With adolescent scoliosis, the main goal is to stop the spinal curve from getting worse. Additionally, we may also see an improvement of the curve. However, in adult scoliosis, the goal is functional harmony without symptoms. For either category, the specific re-balancing is to reduce and eliminate the root-causes of spinal dysfunction. As your condition, or your teenager’s condition gains stability we will see signs of better spinal segmental function. As you or your teenager’s spine functions better, the spinal curvature becomes less of a threat to future health problems.
