Treatment option for scoliosis ignored
Dear Editor, In a recent article, "Middle Schoolers Being Screened for Scoliosis," (Sept. 1) a very important treatment option for scoliosis was not mentioned in the publication. Chiropractic adjustments are a natural, noninvasive treatment for spinal subluxations, misalignments in the spine, which can cause a sideways "S" curve of the spine (scoliosis).
Scoliosis can lead to conditions such as back pain and stiffness, disc complications, pinched nerves and weak or tight muscles. Spinal adjustments can improve these conditions whether the scoliosis is discovered early or later in life. If left untreated, symptoms can become severe.
Chiropractic is a proactive choice, since early detection can prevent a scoliosis from worsening over time. Why wait until your child has a severe case of scoliosis when chiropractic care can provide gentle correction to the spine without the use of drugs or surgery? In addition to school screenings, a chiropractic evaluation can confirm the presence of scoliosis and further assist your child's spinal needs.
A consultation with your chiropractor may be offered at no additional charge to discuss yours or your family's condition. Your chiropractor may recommend additional types of treatment such as therapy, traction and exercises in conjunction with your chiropractic adjustments. He or she may consult with other medical specialists about your (your child's) condition and can refer to an orthopedist or surgeon if necessary.
There are a handful of doctors of chiropractic to choose from right here in Camden County that work with individuals of all age groups that have scoliosis. Knowing that this natural method of healthcare is available in our community will make a positive change in your life and our children's future.
