Scoliosis is a complex spinal condition characterised by an abnormal curvature of the spine. It often appears during adolescence but can develop at any stage of life. It varies from mild discomfort to severe complications impacting posture, movement and overall health.
At Cammeray Chiropractic & Performance Centre, we understand scoliosis's profound impact on individuals and families.
Symptoms of scoliosis
Early detection of scoliosis can significantly impact the effectiveness of chiropractic scoliosis treatment. Common symptoms include:
Uneven shoulders or hips
Visible curvature of the spine
Back pain or discomfort
Difficulty breathing in severe cases due to reduced lung space
Early intervention is key to effective management, especially in children and adolescents, where rapid growth can exacerbate the curvature.
Scoliosis treatment without surgery — our holistic approach
At Cammeray Chiropractic & Performance Centre, we believe in a holistic, non-invasive approach to scoliosis treatment. Our chiropractic scoliosis treatments include:
Chiropractic adjustments — Chiropractic adjustments are fundamental to realigning the spine, reducing pressure on surrounding muscles and improving mobility. They play a fundamental role in pain management, symptom reduction and overall spinal health.
Therapeutic exercises — Strengthening core muscles, improving flexibility and enhancing balance help stabilise the spine. Our scoliosis specialist, Andrew Richards, designs customised exercise routines to support spinal health, alleviate discomfort and slow scoliosis progression.
Lifestyle modifications — Lifestyle changes, including posture correction, ergonomics and stress management, contribute to scoliosis care. Our scoliosis specialist guides patients on daily practices to protect spinal health and enhance overall well-being.
