What Is Scoliosis?

If you suffer from scoliosis, you should know that chiropractic is a recognized treatment option for the effects of scoliosis. At Rock Integrated Health, our team of professionals can assist you in achieving relief from the most common issues related to scoliosis. We also specialize in making structural corrective changes to the spine. Following Dr. Aaron Miller's best recommendations will likely result in changes from the before to after x-rays of the spine.
Scoliosis is defined as an abnormal curvature of the spine. In the vast majority of cases, the curvature is sideways, but there may be more than one curvature issue in scoliosis patients. It's estimated that almost three percent of the population suffers from scoliosis. Diagnosis is conducted by visual and x-ray methods.
Scoliosis can form as the result of a birth deformity or as an effect of an underlying condition such as cerebral palsy or muscular dystrophy. There is no proof of hereditary or genetic conditions causing scoliosis. Dr. Miller claims he sees scoliosis much more in females. Furthermore, he believes that if a female has scoliosis, there is a very high probability that her mother or grandmother has scoliosis as well. Whatever the cause of scoliosis, Dr. Aaron Miller can help alleviate the resulting discomfort and pain associated with scoliosis.
