Scoliosis

Scoliosis can affect both the biomechanical and neurological functions of the body. Symptoms associated with Scoliosis are changes in motor control, loss of proprioception, problems with postural control, nutritional inadequacy, and changes in muscle anatomy like concaved and convex sides. Neurological effects can include abnormal brain EEG, altered neurological reflexes, and cerebral asymmetry.

Our approach to Scoliosis treatment at our Portland and Hillsboro chiropractic office is rehabilitation focused, understanding how the central nervous system is affected as well as improving the structure of the spine through neuromuscular re-education, balance work, and proprioceptive exercises.
