Curved Spine

Have you recently noticed more of a curve in your spine than there should be? Or maybe you’ve been living with it your whole life. Learn more about how our team at Complete Care Chiropractic KC can help by reading on.

Types of Curved Spine

Two conditions cause spinal curvature.

1. Scoliosis: Scoliosis is a condition in which your spine curves sideways, making it look like a “C” or an “S.” It’s most common in growing kids.

2. Kyphosis: This is a condition in which the curve is forward and your back is rounded. Some people might refer to it as a slouch or as a “hunchback.” Kyphosis tends to be more common in adults.  

Can a Chiropractor Treat a Curved Spine?

Chiropractic care can:

• Prevent further curving of the spine
• Improve the current curvature to some degree
• Reduce or eliminate pain associated with a curved spine

Chiropractic Treatment for a Curved Spine

Your treatment plan will be designed around your needs and condition. However, some of the most commonly used methods include the following:

• Adjustments, which can help improve the alignment of the vertebrae
• Flexion distraction to stretch out painful areas and improve your flexibility and range of motion
• Massage therapy to relieve muscle tension, release trigger points, and improve circulation

With regular visits, you should feel incredible relief and might be surprised at the overall results.
