Treatment for Scoliosis in Santa Clarita

If you have noticed that you have difficulty standing straight, uneven shoulders or hips, or have a distinct curve in your spine, you may have scoliosis. Medical professionals have not yet determined the exact reason that a person develops scoliosis. While mild cases typically do not require attention, moderate to severe scoliosis may require treatment to help reduce the curvature in the spine.

At Unruh Spine Center, our experienced chiropractors have decades of experience diagnosing and treating scoliosis.

• Spinal adjustments
• Corrective exercises
• Physical therapy
• Stretching
• Bracing

Early Detection Is Key

One of the biggest misconceptions about scoliosis is that it is a permanent condition. On the contrary, if this condition is detected during childhood, an experienced chiropractor can often develop a therapy program that will stop, slow, or even reverse their scoliosis.

If your child’s pediatrician, physician, or coach has expressed concern about their back pain or possible scoliosis, we recommend that you schedule an appointment with our staff so that we can diagnose the severity of the curvature. In some cases, if the curve is minimal or only slightly abnormal, treatment might not be necessary. However, if your child had a moderate curve, our team will develop a course of treatment that will prevent the condition from becoming an issue further in life.

Does Scoliosis Require Surgery?

For mild to moderate cases of scoliosis, surgery is typically not necessary as we reserve this for more severe cases. Typically, more conservative treatments like regular adjustments and a dedicated exercise routine is sufficient in maintaining spinal health. At Unruh Spine Center, our Santa Clarita chiropractors specialize in spinal abnormalities like scoliosis. We are here to address your chiropractic concerns and provide relief.
