You may have heard of scoliosis as “a curve in the spine”, but there is a bit more to it than that.
Scoliosis is a three-dimensional change in the shape of the spine. This means the spine doesn’t just curve sideways; it also twists, changing how weight and movement are distributed throughout the body. Because the spine plays such a central role in movement, balance and nervous system regulation, these changes can affect how the whole body functions.
From a Chiropractic perspective, care for scoliosis isn’t so much about “straightening” the spine. Instead, the focus is on helping the spine and nervous system work as efficiently as possible within the shape that’s there. Reducing the effects of years of compensation and restoring the spine's adaptability.
