Dr. Jason Fullmer of Central PA Spinal Health Subsides Scoliosis Discomfort with Non-Surgical Treatment in Mechanicsburg, PA

Scoliosis is defined as an abnormal side-to-side curvature of the spine. If a scoliosis curve gets worse, the spine will rotate or twist, in addition to curving side to side. This causes the ribs on one side of the body to stick out farther than on the other side causing postural imbalance. If left untreated, severe scoliosis can cause back pain and difficulty breathing. At Central PA Spinal Health, Dr. Jason Fullmer utilizes scoliosis therapies such as a mechanical drop piece, a modified eckard table and a scoliosis traction Chair.

There are several types of scoliosis based on the cause and age when the curve develops. However, the majority of patients have no known cause. At Central PA Spinal Health, three non-surgical devices are utilized to provide treatment to patients depending on the severity of the case. One being, a mechanical drop piece that is a chiropractic bench which applies force to the sagittal pivot points of the spine to facilitate lordotic restoration. Second, a modified eckard table utilizes a system of brackets and belts/straps to assist Dr. Jason Fullmer with correction through de-rotation, decompression, and lateral flexion of the spine. Finally, a scoliosis traction chair is intended to create a traction/de-rotation environment to un-do the coil down effect while the patient rehabs the spine against resistance using the normalized spinal lever arm system.

Understanding that scoliosis is a neurological condition is vital when it comes to treatment. The prognosis for an individual with scoliosis ranges from mainly good to fair, depending on how early the problem is diagnosed and treated. At Central PA Spinal Health, Dr. Jason Fullmer can address the curvature problem before it gets out of control by providing patients with a physical exam.
