SCOLIOSIS
Scoliosis Massage Therapy Edmonton
Scoliosis can be defined as abnormal curvature in the spine, often making an S shape. Scolosis is often but not always genetic and appears during adolescence. If not corrected early in life the severity of curvature may increase over time. There have been successful studies in early intervention of physical therapy that can decrease the severity of the curve. There is also medical intervention from a doctor to correct the spine. Because there are many different degrees of Scoliosis the symptoms are vast, some symptoms include one leg longer, a visible S shape in spine, headaches, back pain, one shoulder higher or more forward, different range of motion in shoulders.
What can massage do?
Massage cannot correct scoliosis permanently, what massage can do is make life more comfortable and ease pain from muscles. Massage is a valuable tool that can help increase effects from physical therapy or medical intervention but has not been successful in correcting the spine on its own. All of our therapists are highly trained in scoliosis and can successfully ease muscle tension in the correct areas that should not make your symptoms worse, but life more of a pain free life.
What can Chiropractic Care do?
Chiropractic care can help manage scoliosis symptoms by targeting spinal misalignments and reducing stress on the surrounding joints, nerves, and soft tissues. While chiropractic adjustments cannot permanently straighten a scoliotic curve, a chiropractor can perform precise, gentle adjustments and posture-focused therapies to improve spinal mobility, alleviate pain, and reduce muscle tension. When combined with targeted corrective exercises and rehabilitative care, chiropractic treatment helps improve overall function, prevent progressive stiffness, and support better posture for a more comfortable, active lifestyle.
How can Acupuncture help?
Acupuncture can help manage scoliosis symptoms by targeting tight, overworked muscles along the asymmetrical curve of the spine to reduce pain and muscular tension. By placing fine, sterile needles at strategic points, acupuncture promotes blood flow, reduces inflammation, and stimulates the release of natural pain-relieving endorphins. This helps ease muscle spasms caused by uneven postural stress, improves spinal flexibility, and supports overall comfort alongside other rehabilitative therapies.
