Scoliosis Care

Understanding Scoliosis

Scoliosis is an abnormal lateral curvature of the spine that can develop at any age, though it most commonly appears during the growth spurts of adolescence. In adults, it may result from degenerative changes, previous injuries, or go undetected from childhood.

At Skandy Accident Injury Centers, we offer conservative, non-surgical care to help manage scoliosis symptoms, slow progression, and improve quality of life. Our team works closely with each patient to develop a treatment plan tailored to the severity and type of their curvature.

Types and Causes of Scoliosis

• Idiopathic scoliosis (most common, cause unknown)
• Degenerative scoliosis in adults
• Congenital scoliosis from birth defects
• Neuromuscular scoliosis (cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy)
• Post-traumatic scoliosis from injury
• Uneven shoulder or hip height
• Chronic back and rib pain
• Reduced lung and heart function in severe cases

Our Approach to Scoliosis Management

Our providers use chiropractic care, targeted physical therapy, and corrective exercises to help reduce pain, improve posture, and support spinal stability in patients with scoliosis. While we cannot reverse structural curvature, our treatments can meaningfully reduce discomfort and improve function.

Early intervention is key. Whether you are a parent concerned about your child's posture or an adult experiencing new or worsening symptoms, our team is here to evaluate your condition and guide you toward the most appropriate course of care.
