Everyone’s spine has natural curves. These curves round our shoulders and make our lower back curve slightly inward. But some people have spines that also curve from side to side. Unlike poor posture, these curves can’t be corrected simply by learning to stand up straight. This condition of side-to-side spinal curves is called scoliosis. On an x-ray, the spine of a person with scoliosis looks more like an “S” or a “C” than a straight line. Some of the bones in a scoliotic spine also may have rotated slightly, making the person’s waist or shoulders appear uneven.
Chiropractic care should be the first-line approach for all patients diagnosed with scoliosis as opposed to surgery and bracing. Treating scoliosis early is an important factor in successful treatment.
Testimonials from Patients
Dr. Cooper is great! I was in extraordinary pain from the top of my head to my hips. I had a pain in my neck; shoulder and upper back and couldn’t sleep or get comfortable. Dr. Cooper found the extra areas. Fixed them quickly and painlessly and wow! What a relief. I feel loads better, more awake and I’m not in pain any more.
Thanks again.

I have been in a lot of pain over the last few months. I am starting to feel improvement. Today I noticed it doesn’t hurt as much to lean on my shoulder. My pain is so much better after the adjustment.
