Conditions We Treat
Scoliosis Treatment in Boulder, CO
Your spine is a complex network of bones, muscles, and joints — and the armor that protects your central nervous system. When the spine curves sideways, it can cause pain, frequent headaches, or muscle spasms. Scoliosis — abnormal sideways curvature — is the most common spinal deformity in children and adolescents, more common in girls than boys. About 3% of the American population suffers from scoliosis, and most cases don't require surgery — they can be treated with conservative, non-invasive chiropractic care.

How We Treat It
Complications of Untreated Scoliosis
Severe cases can lead to shortness of breath, life-long pain, breathing problems, and heart issues. Long-term untreated scoliosis may reduce lung capacity and cause osteoporosis and kyphosis. Damage to the back, shoulders, ribs, or vertebrae can occur.
How We Treat Scoliosis
- Comprehensive consultation — health history, joint/muscle/bone assessment, spinal evaluation
- Specific chiropractic care — manual adjustments using stretch, traction, or other techniques
- Custom therapeutic exercise plan — kinesiology-based muscle stretches, strengthening, mobility
- Spinal decompression — motorized traction to relieve nerve pressure
- Massage therapy — increase blood supply, correct imbalances
How to Identify Scoliosis
Visible sideways spine curvature when standing. Curves exceeding 10–15° warrant medical attention. Symptoms include back/neck pain, headaches, nausea, fatigue, dizziness, and poor posture. According to the American Academy of Neurological Surgeons, 80% of cases have no identifiable cause — typically diagnosed between ages 10–14.
