Scoliosis Chiropractor
Chiropractor for Scoliosis
At Elevation Chiropractic, we talk a lot about scoliosis—because it’s the most common spinal deformity among school-age children. Around three million new cases are diagnosed each year in the U.S., most commonly adolescent scoliosis. While it's often identified during childhood or the teenage years, we also treat many adults who are living with scoliosis and its effects.
Scoliosis comes in all shapes, sizes, and ages. The earlier it’s diagnosed, the better the chances for successful management. A healthy spine has a natural S-curve that supports movement and flexibility. In scoliosis, the spine curves sideways, and in more advanced cases, this can lead to long-term complications if left untreated. That’s why early detection, correction, and monitoring are so important.
Signs and symptoms of scoliosis to watch for include:
Uneven hips or shoulders
One shoulder blade sticking out more than the other
Back or knee pain
Clothes fitting unevenly or hanging awkwardly
Limping or an abnormal walking pattern
Dr. Jonah provides personalized scoliosis assessments and gentle, non-invasive care for both children and adults. If you or your child are showing signs of scoliosis, schedule a consultation today. Early action can make all the difference.
If you or someone you know is beginning to show early signs of scoliosis, it’s important to get evaluated by a chiropractor as soon as possible. Many people believe the only options for scoliosis are invasive back surgery or a lifetime of pain and dysfunction, but that’s simply not true.
While there are cases where medical intervention may be necessary, chiropractic care offers a conservative, non-invasive first step. Early detection and scoliosis-specific chiropractic care can help manage the condition and prevent it from progressing.
Dr. Jonah specializes in scoliosis-specific adjustments and is well known throughout Des Moines and its surrounding communities for achieving results that help halt progression and reduce the risk of long-term complications.
Don’t wait; if scoliosis is suspected, schedule a consultation at Elevation Chiropractic today and take the first step toward lasting spinal health.
