Scoliosis Care in Calgary SW
Scoliosis is a condition in which the spine curves sideways, resulting in changes to posture, balance, and comfort. While it is often diagnosed in adolescence, adults can also develop or experience worsening spinal curves over time. Dr. Ryan and our team at Precision Spinal Care provide gentle, personalized care options to help manage scoliosis, reduce discomfort, and support overall well-being.
What Is Scoliosis?
Scoliosis is marked by an abnormal curvature of the spine, sometimes forming an “S” or “C” shape. The curve may range from mild to more noticeable and can cause uneven shoulders, hips, or posture.
Some cases are genetic or idiopathic (meaning no clear cause is identified). In other cases, scoliosis may result from neuromuscular conditions, spinal injuries or trauma, and age-related changes in the spine. Regardless of the cause, scoliosis can affect both structure and quality of life.
Symptoms You Might Notice
Not everyone with scoliosis experiences pain, but the condition can bring about noticeable changes, such as:
- Uneven shoulders or hips
- Visible curvature of the spine
- Limited range of motion
- Stiffness or back pain
- Muscle fatigue due to imbalance
- In advanced cases, reduced chest space and difficulty breathing
Even mild symptoms can impact posture, comfort, and daily activities.
How We Support Patients with Scoliosis
Although scoliosis itself cannot always be corrected, many patients benefit from natural, non-invasive care designed to ease discomfort and improve function. Care plans may include:
- Chiropractic Care – Gentle NUCCA adjustments to support spinal mobility, reduce tension, and promote healthier alignment.
- Manual Osteopathic Therapy - Hands-on techniques to restore mobility, release muscle and fascia restrictions, and support spinal balance and surrounding structures.
- Class IV Laser Therapy - Advanced light therapy that helps decrease inflammation, improve circulation, and reduce pain caused by postural imbalance or chronic muscle strain.
- Massage Therapy - Relaxing techniques that ease tight muscles, reduce stress, and improve circulation to areas under strain from spinal imbalance.
- Acupuncture – A holistic option that may support circulation, ease pain, and encourage overall body balance.
- Postural & Exercise Guidance – Targeted stretches and strengthening routines to stabilize the spine, improve posture, and support long-term mobility.
By combining these therapies, we aim to promote comfort, confidence, and resilience in patients managing scoliosis.
