Frequently Asked Questions About Scoliosis Treatment in Vacaville

Scoliosis is a condition where the spine curves sideways, often forming a “C” or “S” shape. While mild scoliosis may not cause symptoms, moderate or severe cases can lead to back pain, postural changes, and even breathing difficulties. At Absolute Integrative Physical Medicine, our goal is to provide non-surgical, integrative scoliosis treatment to improve spinal alignment, mobility, and overall health.

1. What causes scoliosis?

Most cases are idiopathic, meaning the cause is unknown. Other causes include:

• Congenital spine malformations
• Neuromuscular conditions
• Traumatic injuries or uneven muscle development

Early detection, especially in children and adolescents, is crucial for effective management.

2. How do you treat scoliosis in Vacaville?

Our scoliosis treatment program uses a combination of approaches tailored to the patient:

• Chiropractic adjustments: Improve spinal alignment and reduce curvature progression (Learn more)
• Posture correction & strengthening exercises: Support muscular balance and spinal stability
• Physical therapy & functional rehabilitation: Enhance mobility and reduce discomfort (Physical therapy)
• Lifestyle guidance: Education on ergonomics, posture, and safe activity practices

This integrative approach not only addresses the spinal curvature but also improves overall spinal health and function.

3. What symptoms indicate scoliosis?

• Uneven shoulders or hips
• One shoulder blade more prominent than the other
• Back pain or stiffness
• Leaning to one side when standing
• Difficulty breathing in severe cases

4. Can scoliosis cause pain?

Yes, scoliosis can lead to chronic back pain, tension in surrounding muscles, and fatigue due to uneven posture. Our treatment aims to relieve pain while addressing the root cause — spinal misalignment.

5. How long does treatment take?

Treatment length depends on:

• Age and severity of the curve
• Muscle strength and flexibility
• Consistency with exercises and adjustments

Many patients notice improvements in posture and mobility within a few months, while long-term care supports lasting spinal health.

6. Is scoliosis treatment safe?

Absolutely. All our treatment plans are non-surgical, tailored, and clinically monitored to ensure safety and effectiveness for both children and adults.

7. Can scoliosis be prevented or worsened?

While idiopathic scoliosis cannot always be prevented, early detection and consistent care can reduce curve progression and prevent complications. Regular spinal assessments, chiropractic adjustments, and strengthening exercises are key.
