Chiropractic Care for the Whole Family

Children’s bodies are developing rapidly as they grow from crawling tiny tots to active school age kids. As they grow, children are able to handle more physical stress as they play, jump, run, fall and more. However, moving into the school age phase brings on a lot more physical stress that can be harmful to the body, including bad posture, contact sports, neck strain from technology usage, wearing heavier backpacks and heavier lifting. Chiropractic care from a skilled team, like Today Disc, Bone & Joint, can help protect your child from body pain and complications later in life due the physical stress they experience as they age.

Are you struggling with scoliosis? More often than not, scoliosis develops as a slight curvature of the spine that worsens over time. For an official scoliosis diagnosis, it is required for there to be a 60 degree or sharper curve of the spine. When scoliosis has reached this point there are often painful symptoms. If this abnormal curvature goes untreated, severe damage can occur to internal organs.Thankfully, if the initial curvature is cared for proactively, you are able to keep it from developing into scoliosis. In most cases, a slight curvature of the spine starts with one vertebra being out of place. When this happens, muscles in the spine tend to favor certain parts of the spine and create imbalances. As this occurs, the spine starts curving to compensate for all the slight imbalances and misalignments in the spine. While scoliosis tends to affect adolescents disproportionately, it can still manifest in older adults. As adults age, their vertebrae tend to slowly degenerate. Without proper maintenance care, this degeneration can be sped up by disorder like osteoporosis. Eventually, this weakening of the spine cause imbalances that turn into the curvatures characterized by scoliosis.

Scoliosis cannot be fixed simply by being mindful and attempting to stand up straighter. But, research has shown that chiropractic care is effective in treating scoliosis. An x-ray can be performed by your doctor to determine what is the best way to treat your scoliosis. Today Disc, Bone & Joint Chiropractic Treatment Center in Lexington is also experienced in assessing your balance to detect scoliosis quickly.
