Back Pain

Scoliosis is a medical condition that may develop in early adolescence and causes a sideways curvature of the spine. Merivale Chiropractic and Massage Clinic can diagnose and evaluate scoliosis, and develop a non-surgical, drug-free treatment plan for scoliosis pain in Ottawa, Canada. If your child has been diagnosed with a curved spine and you are looking for safe, effective treatment of spinal pain, keep reading to find out how chiropractors treat scoliosis pain. 

Why Visit a Chiropractor for Spinal Pain? 

Chiropractors are experts in spinal anatomy and have extensive experience evaluating scoliosis at every stage. Your chiropractor can assess the severity of your child’s scoliosis and can help you find treatment options for the most severe, debilitating cases that cause extreme spinal pain. Your chiropractor will combine chiropractic therapies to readjust the spine, alleviate inflammation and stiffness, reduce scoliosis pain, improve range of motion and flexibility, and increase functionality and mobility. 

Chiropractic Scoliosis Treatments

While your chiropractor can’t cure scoliosis, they can give your child the best option for finding relief from spinal pain so they can live a happy, healthy life. Your chiropractor may recommend chiropractic adjustments, which is a safe, non-surgical treatment option that corrects spinal imbalances, improves posture and mobility, and relieves spinal pain and tension. They may also recommend other chiropractic therapies that have proven effective at relieving scoliosis pain, such as massage therapy and acupuncture. 

Lifestyle Modifications & Physical Therapy

In addition to chiropractic scoliosis treatments, your chiropractor will also assess your child’s lifestyle and habits. This will help them make recommendations for at-home treatment and rehabilitation that will maintain your child’s treatment progress in between visits to the chiropractor’s office. They will look for activities and habits that may be worsening your child’s scoliosis pain and can help your child adjust or modify daily activities so they are less stressful. Your chiropractor may suggest changes to your child’s diet and exercise, daily habits and movement, sleep habits, and posture. They may recommend vitamins and supplements, and instruct your child on therapeutic exercises and stretches to complete at home to continue his progress.
