Yuba City Scoliosis Chiropractor
Chiropractic Care for Scoliosis
Scoliosis is a condition that affects the spine, causing it to curve to the side.
This can lead to back pain, problems with posture, and some cases, difficulty breathing. Scoliosis is most common in teenagers, but it can affect people of any age and should be treated to avoid long-term damage.
If you have scoliosis, you may be looking for relief from your symptoms. Dr. Gurj Kalay of Yuba Sutter Chiropractic can help reduce pain you’re experiencing from scoliosis and get you on the path to feeling better.
What Causes Scoliosis?
The cause of scoliosis is often unknown. In some cases, it may be due to a congenital condition or genetic mutation. Scoliosis can also develop as a result of neuromuscular conditions, such as cerebral palsy or muscular dystrophy.
Scoliosis is typically diagnosed with a physical examination and X-rays. The X-rays will show the degree of curvature in the spine. Your doctor may also order an MRI or CT scan to rule out other causes of back pain, such as a herniated disc.
What Are Common Symptoms of Scoliosis?
The most common symptom of scoliosis is a curve in the spine. The spine may look S- or C-shaped when viewed from the back. Other symptoms may include:
- Uneven shoulders
- One shoulder blade that appears more prominent than the other
- Uneven waist
- One hip that appears higher than the other
- Back pain
- Difficulty breathing
If you experience any of these symptoms, it’s important you start treatment right away. There is no cure for scoliosis, but treatments can help to manage the condition and prevent it from getting worse.

Treatment for Scoliosis
In severe cases of scoliosis, surgery may be necessary to correct the curvature of the spine. Surgery is typically only recommended for people with a severe curve or those who are at risk for progression. If the curvature is not too severe, the next best option is chiropractic care.
Chiropractic care can help treat scoliosis pain in children, adolescents and adults. Unlike a surgeon, a chiropractor uses natural methods and spinal manipulation to help address scoliosis symptoms. Chiropractors may also recommend lifestyle changes and at-home exercises to help reduce any pain you may be feeling.
With proper treatment, most people with scoliosis can lead normal, active lives and avoid surgery.
