Scoliosis | Back to Healthcare

A Free Report on a Natural Solution for Scoliosis from Back to Healthcare

Scoliosis is an abnormal sideways curvature of the spine. It begins as a postural distortion and can become a permanent deformity. Allowed to advance, it can interfere with the lungs, heart and many other vital organs.

Three Causes

Congenital genetic predisposition
Habitual behavioral routines
Idiopathic unknown cause

Regardless of cause, early detection is essential.

Obvious Clues

An alert parent may notice that a high shoulder or low hip make clothing fit poorly. Or uneven shoe wear offers a clue. Back and leg pains may develop but are often dismissed as growing pains.

Wait and See?

Allowed to run its course, scoliosis usually worsens. Severe cases involve unsightly bracing or surgery that attaches steel rods, forcing the spine to straighten.

Natural Approach

Chiropractic care is a more natural solution. Specific chiropractic adjustments help improve the function and structure of the spine. Muscles strengthen. Posture can improve. And the spine can “right itself.”

We’ve helped a lot of young people with scoliosis. Bring your child in so we can discuss your concerns and explore the possibilities.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Isn’t a certain amount of sideways curvature normal?

Any type of sideways curvature is abnormal. From the back, the spine should appear straight. When scoliosis is present, there are usually two curves. A primary curve in one direction and a compensatory curve in the opposite direction.

Isn’t scoliosis caused by a lack of calcium?

No. However, there are a growing number of people who believe uncorrected spinal damage from the birth process may be involved. Some theorize that “walkers” may prematurely interrupt the crawling stage so essential for proper spinal development.

Do heavy back-packs cause scoliosis?

Not necessarily, however this is a growing concern. Make sure your son or daughter use both shoulder straps on their back-packs so the weight is evenly distributed. Weigh their bag. Make sure it doesn’t exceed 10% -15% of their body weight.
