Our chiropractic services in Yorkville can be used to effectively treat you or your child’s curved spine. Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine. At Advanced Physical Medicine of Yorkville, we provide various treatments to help those with a curved spine live a life with reduced pain and fewer symptoms. Let’s look at a few of the questions that we run into regarding curved spines.
Many things can cause spinal curvature. Genetics is one of the most common factors. Osteoporosis, where the bones become brittle, can cause the spine to curve. Being overweight or obese puts extra pressure on your spine, which can cause it to curve. Spinal injuries, tumors, and birth defects can also cause the spine to curve.
A normal spine has some gentle curves. However, individuals with a curved spine have a more defined curve. There are three types of spinal curvature disorders which include:
Lordosis: The spine curves in the lower back
Kyphosis: The spine curves in the upper back
Scoliosis: The spine curves sideways in an S or C shape
At Advanced Physical Medicine of Yorkville, we perform various chiropractic treatments to help our scoliosis patients find relief from their back pain.
Typically, scoliosis does not get better on its own as an adult. Some children with small idiopathic scoliosis may see some improvement, but this is rare.
At Advanced Physical Medicine of Yorkville, we help our patients keep their spine aligned. We offer chiropractic adjustments, electrical stimulation, and joint mobility exercises that will help you to have more symptom-free days than not. Chiropractic care is a great alternative to invasive surgery and pain medication.
Pain that is caused by a curved spine is far too common. Our chiropractors at Advanced Physical Medicine of Yorkville are here to help you find the pain relief that you deserve.
