Scoliosis

​​​Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine.
 

For many people, it doesn’t cause pain—but in some cases, it can lead to stiffness, imbalance, and discomfort.

 

You might have scoliosis if you;

• One shoulder sits higher than the other

• Spinal curvature visible on assessment

• Muscle imbalance or tightness

• Localised or generalised back discomfort

 

When scoliosis becomes a problem

• Persistent back or neck pain

• Reduced mobility

• Fatigue with prolonged standing or sitting

• Increasing asymmetry or postural change

 

How we approach treatment

• Assess movement and spinal loading patterns

• Improve joint mobility where restricted

• Address muscle imbalance and tension

• Provide practical advice to manage symptoms

​

Its important to determine whether a scoliosis is structural or functional to determine the best course of treatment. Once the scoliosis type confirmed, the treatment will focus  on improving your movement, reducing discomfort, and helping you function more comfortably.

​

The treatment techniques used at Orange Chiro can help stabilise and in some cases, reduce the severity of a scoliosis.

 

To determine your type of scoliosis, the first step is to book an appointment for assessment.​​
