 Dr.
Debra Pear, who has personally suffered
with scoliosis, has also successfully
managed many patients of all ages
who suffer with scoliosis. The treatment
plan includes chiropractic manipulation
as well as specific exercises to strengthen
unilateral muscles groups in the scoliosis
patient.
Every
scoliosis sufferer should be under
chiropractic care to better restore
abnormalities of all kinds, including
scoliosis. In most cases of scoliosis,
the cause is unknown. Further deepening
the mystery of scoliosis is the fact
that no one knows why some minor curves
get worse while about 90 percent of
them do not. However, it is not true
that poor posture is a cause of scoliosis,
or that women with scoliosis have
more problems carrying babies to term.
Chiropractic
is not a treatment for individual
disease, and that includes scoliosis.
The purpose of chiropractic in the
case of scoliosis is to correct the
vertebral subluxation complex—a
condition that interferes with the
proper functioning of the nervous
system and the body as a whole. Recent
research suggesting that scoliosis
may be caused by a neurological defect
reinforces the validity of the chiropractic
approach.
