SCOLIOSIS
WHAT IS IT?
Scoliosis is a spinal condition characterized by an abnormal sideways curvature, which can lead to discomfort, pain, and postural imbalances. While scoliosis can range from mild to severe, it often affects mobility, breathing, and overall well-being if left untreated. Dr. Santiago provides specialized chiropractic care to help manage scoliosis and improve spinal function naturally, without relying solely on invasive procedures or medications.
CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENT FOR SCOLIOSIS
Chiropractic care for scoliosis focuses on reducing pain, enhancing spinal mobility, and improving posture. Dr. Santiago tailors treatment plans to each patient’s unique spinal structure, using gentle adjustments to encourage better alignment and relieve pressure on affected areas. These adjustments help restore balance in the spine and reduce discomfort associated with scoliosis-related muscle strain and joint stress.
In addition to spinal adjustments, targeted exercises play a crucial role in managing scoliosis. Strengthening the muscles that support the spine can help slow the progression of curvature, improve posture, and enhance stability. Dr. Santiago incorporates specific exercises and stretches that promote spinal symmetry and flexibility, empowering patients to take an active role in their treatment.
Another essential aspect of scoliosis management is postural training. Many patients with scoliosis develop compensatory movement patterns that contribute to muscle imbalances and discomfort. Dr. Santiago provides guidance on proper movement mechanics, ergonomic adjustments, and lifestyle modifications to help patients maintain better spinal alignment in their daily activities.
Scoliosis treatment at Dr. Santiago’s practice is designed to be holistic, focusing on long-term spinal health and function. By integrating gentle adjustments, rehabilitative exercises, and postural education, patients can experience lasting relief and improved spinal support. Whether you or a loved one is dealing with scoliosis, chiropractic care provides a non-invasive, effective approach to managing the condition and promoting a healthier, more balanced spine.
