Scoliosis

Scoliosis is a common condition in children or adolescents and can cause discomfort in the back and legs due to an abnormal spine curvature. At Kaisk Chiropractic in Akron, OH, we provide various treatments that can alleviate the pain and improve your health. Before visiting us, learn more about the causes of scoliosis below:

Everyone has curves in their spine which are normal, are our spines are not meant to be a straight line. However, when looking at the spine from the back, the vertebrae should line up straightly from the neck to the tailbone. In some children or adolescents, the spine develops a C-shaped or S-shaped curve that can interfere with normal growth and development. 

Scoliosis usually occurs without a clear cause. Sometimes, trauma, genetic diseases, and certain types of cancer can contribute to the condition. However, if it is not treated, it can lead to further deformity and affect the heart.

Maintaining a properly aligned spine is important for your overall body health. When you visit us, we will speak with you about any symptoms you are experiencing and your pain level. Afterward, we will examine your spine and create a treatment plan for your specific needs.

Your chiropractic treatment may include chiropractic adjustments, spinal decompression, and stretching and strengthening exercises. During each appointment, we will evaluate your spine to ensure that you are healing properly. We also believe in a holistic approach, which focuses on the patient as a whole rather than just masking the symptoms. We will work closely with you to ensure that treatment is helping you achieve your desired results and improving your well-being.
