Macomb Twp Chiropractor's Chiropractic Technique Specializes in Treating Scoliosis Macomb Township, Michigan – August 11, 2022

Macomb Township Chiropractic founder Dr. Chris McNeil is leading chiropractors in Macomb Township for treating Scoliosis. Scoliosis is an abnormal curvature of the spine which can lead to uneven shoulders and hips, bump in the back, numbness, weakness or pain, trouble walking or standing straight, loss of height and other health problems. Scoliosis is often diagnosed early in childhood, but adults can develop it later in life as well due to disc degeneration. This condition can also get worse over time.

The current treatments for scoliosis include:

  • BRACING. Bracing is usually done when a child’s bones are still growing and used to prevent the curve from increasing. Bracing is often a difficult treatment as the brace is a large, stiff plastic which must be worn 23 out of 24 hours of the day. Not only can this be painful and uncomfortable, it can affect a child’s self-esteem and their ability to function normally.

  • NERVE BLOCK INJECTIONS. Injections are low dose medications often given directly into the spine to provide longer lasting pain relief. While this type of treatment helps with the pain associated with scoliosis, it is only temporary and does nothing to help treat the overall condition

  • SURGERY. Most doctors recommend surgery for scoliosis. This involves putting metal implants and rods into your spine to reduce or eliminate the curve until fusion occurs. Unfortunately, statistics show most people who have spinal surgery often require additional surgeries down the road. Wear and tear and load on the vertebrae around the fusions as well as degenerative changes in the discs are the usual cause for this.

  • CHIROPRACTIC. Chiropractic treatment for scoliosis can improve pain, spinal curvature and long term disability. Chiropractic is a drug-free approach that treats the entire body as well as the spine, and helps to allow the body to heal itself with improved alignment. Studies have shown marked improvement in spine curvature and pain by using spinal adjustments, postural rehabilitation, and disc decompression therapy.

Dr. Chris McNeil, at Macomb Twp. Chiropractic, specializes in Biophysics Chiropractic, which is specific, scientific chiropractic adjustments and spinal rehabilitation that specifically can help scoliosis. Dr. Chris McNeil heads the office, and is part of only 1% of chiropractors in the country that are trained in these techniques. Spine and posture rehab slowly retrains the body with time and repetition, to come closer to a normal, healthy spinal alignment, and takes pressure off the nerves, discs, joints, and muscles. These therapies can help in children as well as adults. Dr. Chris is quoted as saying “healthy children become healthy adults.”

In a study quoted in the Journal of Chiropractic Medicine, a 24 month analysis of regular chiropractic rehabilitation with scoliosis patients proved that 78% of the patients showed improvements in spinal angles, pain, and disability rating.

So why wait if you are considering treatment options for scoliosis for yourself or your child? Take advantage of the $20 new patient special being run at Macomb Township Chiropractic and make an appointment with Dr. Chris McNeil to learn more about their unique, chiropractic techniques. The $20 covers your first visit which includes a comprehensive consultation and a set of chiropractic x-rays, which usually runs $150. Their friendly staff is waiting to schedule you at your convenience.
