This article will discuss the causes of Scoliosis.
by: Dr. David Futral
What Causes Scoliosis?
Scoliosis can result from a variety of causes, including:
- Congenital spine issues – malformation of one or more vertebrae
- Neuromuscular conditions – imbalance in the muscles that support the spine
- Injuries or degeneration – arthritic or age-related changes in the discs and joints
- Idiopathic scoliosis – the most common type, where the cause is unknown
As we age, natural wear and tear on the joints, discs, and ligaments of the spine can worsen existing scoliosis or cause a new curve to form (known as degenerative scoliosis).
How Scoliosis Affects You
Massage therapy isn’t Scoliosis doesn’t just change the shape of your spine—it can affect how your body functions.
You may experience:
- Persistent back or neck pain
- Muscle tightness or spasms
- Uneven shoulders, hips, or ribs
- Loss of flexibility or mobility
- Nerve irritation or radiating pain
- In severe cases, compromised lung, heart, or organ function
Even mild curvature can cause the muscles on one side of the body to overwork, leading to fatigue, inflammation, and chronic pain—especially in adults with arthritis.
How Chiropractic Care Helps
Chiropractic care offers a safe, non-invasive, and effective way to manage scoliosis symptoms and support spinal health.
At Gwinnett Chiropractic & Laser Center, we focus on:
- Gentle spinal adjustments to improve alignment and joint mobility
- Postural correction to rebalance spinal support
- Physiotherapies and rehabilitative exercises to improve flexibility and reduce tension
These therapies work together to restore balance, decrease pain, and help the body move and function more efficiently—without drugs or surgery.
How Class IV Cold Laser Therapy Enhances Scoliosis Care
For adults experiencing scoliosis-related pain—especially those with arthritic changes or degenerative disc disease—Class IV Cold Laser Therapy is a powerful, modern treatment that complements chiropractic care.
This advanced laser therapy uses light energy to penetrate deep into muscles, ligaments, and joints, promoting tissue repair and reducing inflammation at the cellular level.
Benefits of Class IV Laser Therapy include:
- Reduced inflammation and swelling in muscles and joints
- Increased blood flow and tissue oxygenation
- Accelerated healing of strained or overworked muscles
- Pain reduction through natural endorphin release and nerve modulation
Laser therapy is especially beneficial for adults with scoliosis because it addresses chronic pain, stiffness, and inflammation without medication. When combined with chiropractic adjustments, it helps maintain mobility, reduce pain intensity, and extend the effects of each treatment.
Safe, Effective, and Cost-Conscious Care
Both chiropractic adjustments and Class IV laser therapy are:
✅ Non-invasive
✅ Drug-free and safe for most adults
✅ Affordable compared to surgical or pharmaceutical options
✅ Proven to improve mobility and reduce pain
By combining chiropractic care with laser therapy, patients often experience faster pain relief, better movement, and longer-lasting results—making it a highly cost-effective solution for managing chronic scoliosis pain.
