How Can a Chiropractor Help You With Scoliosis Pain?
Scoliosis causes a curvature of the spine that is evident in your posture and spinal alignment. As the condition progresses, you may experience worsening shoulder, back, hip, and foot pain and it may be difficult to walk or stand. At Levinson Chiropractic, our chiropractor Dr. Helene Levinson can help you manage the symptoms of scoliosis without the use of prescription medication or invasive procedures. Here is a look at how we can help you with scoliosis pain in Sandy Springs, GA.
Chiropractic Adjustments
During a chiropractic adjustment, Dr. Levinson will apply gentle force to targeted vertebrae, joints, and muscles to restore balance and spinal alignment. Chiropractic care promotes the body’s natural ability to heal itself. Chiropractic adjustments restore spinal alignment and balance, allowing for the free flow of blood, oxygen, and nutrients throughout the spine. This can heal nerve and muscle damage caused by scoliosis, and ease pain and inflammation.
Custom Orthotics
The curvature and misalignment of the spine caused by scoliosis can cause hip, leg, and foot pain. You may also feel added pressure on the muscles, tendons, and ligaments of your feet. Custom orthotics are highly specialized shoe inserts that correct posture and balance, provide necessary support and cushioning, and ease foot, hip, and back pain.
Massage Therapy
If you are experiencing stress, strain, and pain due to scoliosis, massage therapy can help. Massage therapy promotes relaxation and the release of natural painkillers and healing hormones. Massage therapy also restores blood flow, promotes lymphatic drainage, and improves circulation, which can accelerate healing and relieve pain and inflammation. After a massage therapy session, you will feel looser and more limber, and it will be easier to walk around.
Laser Therapy
Laser therapy is a non-invasive, safe, and effective treatment option for chronic pain and inflammation. During laser therapy, Dr. Levinson will use a small handheld device to deliver laser light beams to targeted treatment areas. This encourages the body to send healing hormones and nutrients to that treatment area and can heal damaged nerves and tissues. Laser therapy also relieves inflammation, swelling, and pain and improves range of motion.
