Scoliosis is a sideways curve of the spine. It can cause uneven shoulders or hips, back pain and fatigue.
Chiropractic care can help improve spinal motion, ease discomfort and support better posture for people living with scoliosis.
Signs of scoliosis
- Uneven shoulders or hips
- One shoulder blade sticking out
- Clothes hanging unevenly
- Back pain or fatigue after standing
