Natural and Pain Free Scoliosis Treatment | Chiropractor for Scoliosis in Lubbock, TX
Hi, I’m Instructor Greg Marin at 1-Spine Chiropractic. Today, we’re focusing on scoliosis and our primary method for treating this condition—chiropractic adjustments. Scoliosis is characterized by abnormal curvatures in the spine, often visible in the thoracic (mid-back) or lumbar (lower back) regions. Our goal through chiropractic care is not only to alleviate pain but also to correct these curvatures.
The Importance of Accurate Diagnosis
Effective treatment begins with a thorough chiropractic evaluation. We conduct a detailed examination and utilize X-rays to pinpoint the exact areas of curvature. This precise diagnostic approach ensures we target the right areas during adjustments to achieve optimal outcomes.
Demonstrating Chiropractic Adjustments for Scoliosis
Let’s walk through a chiropractic adjustment to show you how painless and effective this treatment can be. After identifying the affected areas through X-ray analysis, we proceed with specific adjustments:
- Neck and Cervical Spine Adjustment: We start by palpating the neck to locate restricted bones. Adjustments are then applied to correct alignment and relieve pressure.
- Thoracic Spine Adjustment: Scoliotic curvatures often appear in the thoracic spine. We focus on adjusting the convex side of the curve, which typically deviates to the right, away from the heart.
- Lumbar and Pelvic Adjustment: In cases where the lumbar spine compensates for thoracic curvature, we examine and adjust the pelvis. Techniques like the Thompson Technique are used to align the pelvis correctly, supporting the natural curvature of the spine.
Patient Demonstration
During the demonstration, our patient undergoes various adjustments:
- Adjustments on the neck for immediate relief.
- Thoracic adjustments to address mid-spine curvatures.
- Pelvic adjustments to correct alignment and support the lower spine.
