It is normal to feel a bit concerned if you or your child gets diagnosed with Scoliosis. This condition in which the spine begins to curve sideways is not always as serious as it can be made out to be. Although it is common, it is rarely life threatening.

Scoliosis is a very common condition. It affects approximately 2-3% of the population and is most prevalent in children aged 10-15. It is also becoming quite common in the adult population. In these cases, scoliosis is caused due to years of care neglect and trauma to the spine.

It is important to note that this condition consists mostly of idiopathic cases. This means that the cause of the condition is unknown and may be due to hereditary factors. Regardless of cause or hereditary factor though, Scoliosis has options for treatment methods.

After diagnosis and treatment, the question of “do I/ my child need surgery” will eventually occur. In severe cases, a surgery to correct/ adjust Scoliosis will most likely be needed but there are other very promising and helpful ways to treat Scoliosis.

Chiropractors are able to help Scoliosis cases through manual therapy and exercise. After the recommended number of sessions, the spine will show dramatic changes to the structure and function. A surgery to correct Scoliosis will only be recommended if the curve of the spine progresses beyond 45-50 degrees.
