Scoliosis Chiropractor in Jacksonville, FL

Scoliosis is a spinal condition where the normal curvatures of the spine are distorted and essentially "buckle" creating a complex of improper curvatures that can range in severity and potentially create significant health issues. There are many different congenital bone anomalies, muscular, and neurologic conditions that we know with certainty create scoliosis but the majority of scoliosis cases are idiopathic, meaning the cause is unknown.

The ultimate risk that scoliosis poses on the body is that it can compromise normal cardiopulmonary function if the abnormal scoliotic curvatures progress too severely. Ideally the patient should have a plan in place before these vital functions are compromised to help stop the progression.
