2. Scoliosis and Chiropractic: Stay Ahead
of the Curve

3. Introduction
It is common to get used to and complacent about certain
chronic aches and pains. However, for some people,
symptoms like uneven hips, a high shoulder, the head
being off center, head tilt, and back and leg pain may be a
sign of undiagnosed scoliosis. Scoliosis is often
discovered in children around their puberty growth spurt,
but the majority of adults with scoliosis don’t even know
they have it. Rather than “toughing it out” and allowing the
problem to worsen, seeking a Eugene Chiropractor and
“staying ahead of the curve” will help you stay on your feet
and ensure you are able to do what you love.

4. What is Scoliosis?
Scoliosis is commonly defined as a sideways curvature of
the spine with vertebral rotation. A normal, healthy spine
has an S-shaped curve to it. This “S” shape would be
apparent when looking at a spine from the side, but would
appear fairly straight up and down if looking from behind. A
spine with scoliosis would look curved when viewed from
directly behind – as if someone rotated the spine from its
normal position.
Scoliosis can be quite debilitating if serious enough and
left untreated. A particularly severe scoliosis spinal curve
can make it hard for the lungs and heart to their job
properly, since the spine is reducing the amount of space
available in the chest. Scoliosis can also cause deformity
and chronic pain until the spine is restored to its proper
alignment.

5. What Causes It?
Although an exact cause is never identified in approximately
80% of scoliosis cases, researchers believe it is most
commonly caused by a combination of both environmental
(your habits) and genetic factors. Conditions such as cerebral
palsy and muscular dystrophy can create a structural
scoliosis; the most common form of scoliosis, in which the
spine’s abnormal structure is considered permanent until
treatment. Additionally, birth defects, spinal injury and
degenerative changes can be causative factors for a scoliotic
curve
Some people with generally normal spine structure can still
suffer from a more sudden, often temporary form of scoliosis
known as nonstructural scoliosis. Nonstructural scoliosis can
be caused by muscle spasms, spinal inflammation, or a
significant difference in leg heights.

6. How does Chiropractic Help?
Chiropractic is an excellent, non-surgical way to improve and
manage most cases of scoliosis, and our Eugene
chiropractors here at Back2Strength are some of the best in
assisting those with this condition. One of the first goals in
improving curvature issues in the spine is by re-centering the
head. There is no turning or twisting of the neck when
receiving scoliosis-specific adjustments. Instead, our
chiropractors will apply precise and gentle forces into the
neck’s bones – sometimes with an adjusting instrument.
Additionally, attention is given to optimizing motion patterns
throughout the spine to help ease stress on the areas within
the spine that a simply not moving through their proper
motion pattern. Stretching and strengthening exercises are
also given to help improve mobility and stability of the spine.
