​What is Scoliosis in Bellingham?

Scoliosis is defined by a curvature in the spine in the frontal plane that is greater than 10 degrees. Scoliosis comes in many shapes and forms and getting an accurate diagnosis is critical for patient outcomes. At Connect Family Chiropractic you will get a thorough examination and Digital x rays for our team to create a comprehensive care plan specific to you. In some cases, the goal may be to decrease the curvature of the spine and in others, it may be to just stabilize and slow progression. Every case is unique and requires a trained professional for management.

Traditional medical treatment in the U.S. is “watchful waiting” for most curves under 25 degrees. This “do-nothing” approach is frustrating for parents and patients alike who are seeking to be more proactive. This is not the general approach in many other countries and at Connect Family Chiropractic we believe the sooner conservative measures are started the better chance of success.
