What is Scoliosis?

Synergy Wellness Chiropractic and Physical Therapy in New York City Explains what Scoliosis is? The classifications and various types of scoliosis. Scoliosis is a lateral curvature of the spine. That curve can be in the upper back/neck region or the lower back to mid-back region, and that curve can also have a rotation to the vertebra as well. Either way, chiropractors are more than equipped to handle any case of scoliosis. Now many different types of scoliosis can be put into three classifications of etiology or cause. Those three types are idiopathic scoliosis, which is the most common; and what I was diagnosed with at 14. There is congenital scoliosis, typically at birth because of a birth defect, and usually diagnosed very early. Also, there's neuromuscular scoliosis, which is secondary to a neuromuscular disease like cerebral palsy or muscular dystrophy. Now it's important to understand when treating scoliosis, first, that you address it early, as early as you can, even if you don't have pain. It's also important to understand that over time if it's not corrected, even if you don't have pain, it can get worse, the symptoms of back pain can get worse and more chronic. However, also the spine will prematurely deteriorate in the sense that the discs will have abnormal wear and tear and start to wear and thin out faster. You'll also develop arthritis in those areas of scoliosis more prematurely than someone with a straight spine.
