Scoliosis: Understanding the Condition and Chiropractic Treatment

Scoliosis can lead to uneven posture, discomfort, and limited mobility, making it harder to stay active and pain-free. While it’s a condition that can’t be cured, chiropractic care can help manage symptoms and improve spinal alignment. At Peak Chiropractic, we offer personalized care plans to alleviate pain, enhance posture, and support your overall health and well-being.

What is Scoliosis?

Scoliosis is a condition characterized by an abnormal curvature of the spine, which can appear as an “S” or “C” shape when viewed from behind. This condition often develops during adolescence, but it can also appear later in life due to factors like degeneration or injury. Scoliosis ranges from mild to severe and can affect mobility, posture, and overall quality of life.

Causes of Scoliosis

While some cases of scoliosis are idiopathic (having no known cause), other factors may include:

  • Genetic predisposition
  • Congenital spine abnormalities
  • Neuromuscular conditions
  • Injuries or trauma

How Chiropractic Care Can Help

At Peak Chiropractic, we focus on providing care that supports the spine's natural alignment and reduces the impact of scoliosis on your daily life. While chiropractic care doesn’t "cure" scoliosis, it can:

  • Alleviate discomfort and pain
  • Improve posture and spinal alignment
  • Enhance mobility and flexibility
  • Support overall spinal health

Our gentle, precise techniques are tailored to meet your specific needs and help you achieve long-term relief.

Symptoms of Scoliosis

The symptoms of scoliosis vary depending on the severity of the condition but may include:

  • Uneven Shoulders: One shoulder may appear higher than the other.
  • Asymmetrical Waist: The waist may look uneven or tilted.
  • Protruding Ribs: One side of the ribcage may appear more prominent due to the spinal curve.
  • Back Pain: Especially in adults, scoliosis can lead to chronic pain and stiffness.
  • Limited Mobility: Severe cases may restrict range of motion and flexibility.

If you recognize any of these signs, it’s essential to seek professional care. At Peak Chiropractic, we offer a thorough assessment to determine how we can help manage your scoliosis symptoms effectively.

I haven’t had a single symptom since the adjustment!
I was working in Boise and seen an ad for Peak Chiropractic, I suffered with migraines, vertigo and severe nerve pain in my shoulders for 15+ years and thought it was something I was just going to live with. After an informative consultation then some 3-D imaging, a severe misalignment was found in my upper cervical area. Dr. Johnathon Finney made one adjustment before I had to go back home to Kentucky and it changed my life! I haven’t had a single symptom since the adjustment! AND he found a doctor near my home town that he went to school with and shared my files so I can have care when I am home and when I am in Boise for work! I cannot thank Dr. Johnathon enough for giving me my life back and think everyone needs to experience what Peak Chiropractic and their upper cervical care can do for them!

I will never go anywhere else
I highly recommend this chiropractor. I was hesitant to see a chiropractor because I had broken my back when I was younger and hate adjustments. That being said, I will never go anywhere else. I trust and feel comfortable here. The entire environment is comfortable and every person I talked to here was so personable and nice. Like I said, I highly recommend going here!

With a 3D imaging machine you visually can seen how out of align you are and then a plan of action to get you back to alignment
After dealing with migraines my whole life, then panic attacks and most recently vertigo, which is the absolute worst experience to go through. I was determined to find help and that is where I found Peak Chiropractic with Dr. John and Dr. Kyara. They are warm, welcoming and above all experts in the field of Upper Cervical Chiropractic Care. They walk you through the process step by step and with a 3D imaging machine you visually can seen how out of align you are and then a plan of action to get you back to alignment. The adjustments are gentle and precise. No cracking or extreme movement of the head, which I can't handle. The last time I saw a chiropractor the extreme movement of my head led me to vomit in the bathroom right after the appointment. Not the case at Peak Chiropractic! I am on a treatment plan that started in February and will go until July and that gives my neck time to adjust and heal and then hopefully maintenance after. I can't tell you how happy I am to finally feel better, sleep better. I don't have the wave of dizziness that I was having on the daily. I also suffer from panic attacks driving and that in itself is debilitating. Even though I came to Peak for migraine and vertigo issues, I had no idea how much it would help me in gaining back my confidence to drive. I no longer get in my car with the feeling of dread and panic. That in itself is life changing!! So thankful and grateful for the care I am receiving and the healing and recovery process. I highly recommend you take the time to get the help you need if suffering from migraines, vertigo or panic attacks. No reason to be miserable when you can get the help you need and through Amazing people like Dr. John and Dr. Kyara!
