Scoliosis Treatment Sunshine Coast

Scoliosis is a medical condition where the spine curves abnormally, affecting millions of people worldwide. While scoliosis can be a challenging condition to manage, there are many effective treatment options available, including chiropractic care.

At Little Mountain Chiropractic, our chiropractors have extensive experience in managing scoliosis.

The first step in managing scoliosis is to properly diagnose the condition. This typically involves a physical exam and diagnostic imaging, such as X-rays or MRI scans. Once a diagnosis has been made, our chiropractors will work with you to develop a personalised management plan that is tailored to your specific needs.

One of the primary goals of scoliosis management is to prevent the curvature from getting worse. This can be achieved through a variety of treatment modalities, including chiropractic adjustments, corrective stretches and strengthening exercises, and in extreme cases, spinal bracing.

Chiropractic adjustments are a non-invasive way to help improve flexibility of the spine and along with tailored exercise plans, Chiropractors aim to reduce the severity of the curvature and alleviate associated symptoms, such as back pain and stiffness. During a chiropractic adjustment, our chiropractors will apply gentle pressure to the affected area of the spine to help improve alignment and mobility.

Corrective exercises are also an essential component of scoliosis management. These exercises are designed to strengthen the muscles around the spine, which can help improve overall posture and reduce the likelihood of the curvature worsening over time. Our chiropractors will work with you to develop a personalised exercise program that is tailored to your specific needs and goals.

In some extreme cases, spinal bracing may be recommended to help prevent the curvature from worsening. Spinal braces are typically worn for several hours each day and are designed to provide additional support to the spine. Chiropractors do not fit spinal braces, these are usually managed via a medical specialist.
