Can Chiropractic Help with Scoliosis?

Scoliosis cannot be cured, but it can be managed. Scoliosis may be defined as the sideways bending of the spine away from the center of the body, which often goes undiagnosed in the absence of symptoms. Although it is often asymptomatic, scoliosis may also present with tightness, stiffness, back pain, and poor posture, which can have a negative impact on quality of life. Therefore, ensuring better function of the surrounding joints and muscles can encourage better posture and manage the symptoms that may be associated with scoliosis.

Hip Bursitis

Hip bursitis is the inflammation of the fluid-filled cushions in the hip that help decrease friction between bones and soft tissue. These bursae can become inflamed because of a direct injury to the hip, overuse, arthritis, and hip and spinal disorders. The pain can vary from being sharp and intense to dull aching and may even refer into the thigh and buttocks. Certain activities and positions, such as lying on the side, climbing stairs, and getting up from a chair, may worsen the pain from hip bursitis. Although hip bursitis is a painful condition that can have a significant effect on daily activities, there are numerous treatment options available. When hip bursitis is related to musculoskeletal disorders, restoring proper mechanical function of the spine, pelvis, and hips can help manage symptoms. If you are struggling with hip pain, consider getting in touch with your chiropractor.

TMJ Problems

Temporomandibular disorder is jaw pain that may refer to the ears, head, and neck. This disorder may be caused by bruxism, nail-biting, trauma to the jaw, arthritis, infection, and joint degeneration.  Often times, the dysfunction and pain may be amplified by the tightening of the jaw muscles, the masserters, and the pterygoids.  The jaw is closely related to the joints in the upper neck. Therefore, decreasing tension in the jaw muscles and increasing mobility of the surrounding joints may be useful in managing symptoms. Get in touch with your chiropractor to find out whether they can help with your TMJ disorder.
