Spinal Curve Scoliosis
“What Parents Need To Know About Treating Scoliosis At Our Burlington Chiropractic Clinic”
We previously discussed how you can assess your own child’s posture for distortions and what you also need to know is that poor spinal alignment can also mean that your child has a spinal condition called scoliosis.
When you are checking your child’s posture, if there is noticeable tipping of the hips, shoulders or both, this could very well mean that they have scoliosis.
Scoliosis is a condition where the spine curves into an abnormal C-shape or an abnormal S-shape. It can result from pathological ( disease ) conditions of the spine & it can also result from structural misalignments ( subluxations ) of the spine.

But irrespective of the cause, if scoliosis is not identified immediately & treated appropriately, it can lead to a life of pain & varying degrees of disability.
Chiropractic care has proven to be very effective in helping children with scoliosis, especially scoliosis resulting from structural misalignments of the spine because this is our area of expertise.
Depending upon the severity of the curve & the age of the child, chiropractic results can range from a complete correction to stabilization of the existing curve.
In the latter case, the child can often times avoid the need to have spinal surgery.
It you have concerns about your child’s posture, it is very important that you have it checked out by someone who specializes in spinal health.
It is far better to be safe than sorry & early intervention is so critical when it comes to scoliosis.
