Scoliosis is common but often goes untreated
What is Scoliosis?
Scoliosis is a common, yet tough to treat condition that often goes unnoticed in adolescents and even into adulthood. It is simply a lateral curvature of the spine that causes changes in biomechanics and possible neurological symptoms.
While there are multiple variations of scoliosis, our doctor focuses on the proper diagnosis, and management of scoliosis. The origin of scoliosis ranges from congenital, tumors, trauma, to idiopathic in nature. Most cases are idiopathic and appear during adolescence and are not purely structural in nature. In fact, our treatment tends to fall more under rehabilitation of the central nervous system with neuromuscular reeducation, balance work, and proprioceptive exercises.
Spinal Traction Therapy
Structural changes that occur due to prolonged poor postures, excessive sitting, facet syndrome and any compression type injuries are all candidates for spinal traction. We have multiple options to help you reach your goals.
Ergonomic Consultation
We address the structural issues of the spine in order to influence the central nervous system. The central nervous system controls all functions of the body, thus our care can have far reaching results.

FAQs
We will create a customized Structural Correction plan that will take you from where you are now to where you need to be so that you can improve your quality of life. We will also show you how you can PROTECT your Structural Corrections for a lifetime with a healthy spine and nervous system.
During our consultation we will go into detail about what will occur in a Structural Correction treatment plan, how we will integrate Structural Correction Exercises, and how a few complementary recommendations will help you restructure your spine so that you can be healthier than you were when you walked in our door.

We do this as a courtesy to you so that we can learn about you and so that you can determine if we are the right solution for you. After a consultation, we will always be willing to go straight into a Structural Correction Examination if you are ready, or schedule an examination for a later date if you so desire. It is your choice!
A Structural Correction Examination is a comprehensive exam that will take no less than 45 minutes to complete depending on the severity of your case.
