Scoliosis is defined as a sideways curving of the spine and often begins in childhood when the bones of the spine are still growing. It affects approximately six million people in the United States and there is no cure. Many people who suffer from scoliosis are diagnosed by uneven shoulder heights, a loss of structural balance, or a change in posture. Chiropractic adjustments are the most effective treatment used to relieve discomfort associated with scoliosis after the age of 20. Once the spine is done growing, scoliosis cannot be corrected, which is why early detection is so important in the fight against this condition. Dr. Dave Solecki of Solecki Chiropractic and Acupuncture treats many people affected by Scoliosis and continues to accept new patients who suffer from this condition.
“With there being no cure for scoliosis, our main focus is helping to relieve the pain associated with it. When detected early, the effects of scoliosis can be greatly reduced and occasionally reversed. We always encourage patients to bring their children in for spinal check-ups as well as preventative care to make sure scoliosis is found and treated as quickly as possible,” stated Dr. Solecki.
Dr. Solecki encourages any person who has been diagnosed with scoliosis to come into the office for a complimentary consultation. Chiropractic is proven to help relieve the discomforts associated with scoliosis and can help improve quality of life. The office is open a variety of hours and days for convenience in scheduling.
