How Do You Know You Need Scoliosis Treatment Melbourne

If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, you may suffer from scoliosis.

• Reduced range of motion.
• Severe muscular tension in your back.
• An S or C-shaped curve in your spine.
• Acute back pain.

Scoliosis is the development of an S or C-shaped lateral curve in the spinal column. Three types of scoliosis affect patients at different stages of life, and they may require intervention from a spinal stenosis chiropractor.

1. Developmental or adolescent scoliosis affects about 10% of people and occurs seven times more frequently in girls than in boys.
2. Late-stage degenerative scoliosis develops with ageing, resulting in a narrowing or stenosis of the spinal canal.
3. Idiopathic scoliosis comes on for reasons that are not fully understood.

How Do We Treat Scoliosis?

When you come from scoliosis treatment by Cox® certified chiropractors at Melbourne Spine Clinic and Malvern Chiropractic Clinic, we will use the Cox® Flexion-Distraction approach. This is a gentle, low-force, non-surgical therapy.

Combined with joint mobilisation and soft tissue therapy, the Cox® technique shows significant success for spinal stenosis treatment.

The goal with scoliosis is not necessarily straightening the curve but rather keeping mobility and flexibility in the curve and promoting a good quality of life for the patient.
