Early Intervention Scoliosis Treatment
Hershey Family Chiropractic (HFC) is now offering new treatment technology for pre-surgical cases of scoliosis. Scoliosis is defined as a bend or curve in the spine where a healthy spine would be completely vertical. Although many cases of scoliosis begin while the body is going through rapid development, particularly in youth ages 10-12, the condition can also develop in adults as well.
Traditional treatment for scoliosis in both children and adults has been to “wait and watch” with or without possibly wearing a torturous hard back brace for 12-23 hours a day. In its place, the Hershey-based chiropractor is offering early intervention treatment which consists of wearing the first, flexible ScoliSMART activity suit (SAS) for only two hours which taps into muscle biomechanics for natural scoliosis curve reduction.
“We are even offering genetic, hormonal and neurotransmitter testing right from the comfort of your home”, says Dr. Jenifer Epstein. “It is a well-documented alternative to waiting until a curve is considered “bad enough”, surgical or symptomatic enough to treat. Instead, we treat the entire scoliosis condition, not just the curve.”
Once your results are discussed thoroughly with an HFC doctor, patients are provided with a full report of findings and nutrient therapies to mitigate any deficiencies or presence of any of the 28 genetic variants, hormonal imbalances and harmful neurotransmitter patterns associated with scoliosis development. Patients are also guided through scoliosis-specific rehabilitation strategies incorporating the ScoliSMART activity suit (SAS) with an average improvement of 9-12 degrees decreases overall.
The team at HFC can provide a smooth, informed approach to treatment that prevents and slows the progression of the disorder. If you are looking for a safe and non-invasive approach to treating scoliosis in you or someone you know, this new technology using state-of-the-art chiropractic care could be a viable option.
