Scoliosis

While the cause of epilepsy is highly debated in the medical world, the chiropractic community believes that stress to the spinal column and nervous system is a possible reason for the spine to distort in shape. Drastic measures such as surgery or bracing should be avoided until more conservative measures are taken. Chiropractic care can help reduce scoliosis, but more importantly, it will help reduce stress to the spine and nervous system. Less stress equals greater health expression.
