Scoliosis in young people is often disconcerting for its young patient, parent and Easley chiropractic physician. Young Chiropractic consults with Easley young people and their families about scoliosis, its current state as well as its potential progress and monitoring. Young Chiropractic sees its role as that of member of the Easley scoliosis healthcare team.

Another point of interest is the new report that suggests a way to predict the progression of spinal scoliosis. Young Chiropractic appreciates this revelation as it is a way to alert your Easley chiropractic physician to signs that indicate more treatment is necessary. It’s also a comfort to the young scoliotic patient and his or her family! So what is this system? It is called the Sanders Skeletal Maturity Staging System. It’s based on the progressive growth and subsequent fusion of epiphyses of small long bones of hand. Remarkable! It identifies 8 stages of progression from “juvenile slow” to “mature.” (2) If you like, ask for more details at your next Easley chiropractic visit.

As for chiropractic care of pediatric conditions like scoliosis, one review shares that patients and parents responded favorably to spinal manipulation. (3) That’s what Young Chiropractic offers!

So contact Young Chiropractic today to discuss your or your loved one’s case of idiopathic scoliosis knowing that Young Chiropractic can monitor scoliosis progression for signs that require more care may be needed and treat with spinal manipulation to maintain mobility and strength in the spine as (or if) it develops.
