Irvine, CA, April 11, 2009 --(PR.com)-- "I have taken care of many children with varying degrees of scoliosis and it saddens me that if this condition is not diagnosed and corrected early in childhood it is very difficult to manage as an adult. If scoliosis is treated before full maturity, chiropractic care can achieve dramatic results," says Dr. Jung of Back to Wellness Chiropractic, an Irvine Chiropractor.
People with scoliosis have an abnormal sideways curve in their spine that makes an "S" or "C" shape and will cause back pain and stiffness. Scoliosis is more common in females and begins in childhood.
An easy screening exam for scoliosis that every parent can perform on their children is called the Adam's Forward Bending Test. It requires the child to bend forward at the hips as if they are trying to touch their toes and if you notice a prominence or hump where one side of their back is higher or lower then the other side then that is a positive Adam's Test and scoliosis is present. If you get a positive test then you should take your child to a chiropractor that takes x-rays so we can see the severity of the problem.
"I hate seeing adults with scoliosis in constant pain and discomfort and I know that if they were treated with chiropractic as a child we could have corrected the condition and saved them a lot of grief. That is why I am offering a free scoliosis screening to every child in the city of Irvine for the month of April because I know I can increase the quality of life for every child with scoliosis."
Chiropractic care can benefit people in many ways including low back pain, sciatica, neck pain, headaches, whiplash, carpal tunnel, fibromyalgia, and easing the strains of pregnancy.
