What is Scoliosis?

Scoliosis is an abnormal sideways curvature of the spine — often developing gradually and sometimes going unnoticed for years.

While some cases are mild and symptom-free, more significant curves can impact posture, mobility, and even the function of the heart and lungs in severe cases.

From early detection to long-term care, you’ll learn how scoliosis is assessed, what treatment options are available, and how to take the first step toward better spinal health.

X-Rays for Scoliosis

There are several ways to check for scoliosis, but the most accurate and reliable method is a full-spine digital x-ray. 

At Green Space Health, we offer in-house digital X-rays so we can evaluate your spine thoroughly and begin treatment on your very first visit.

πŸ’ͺ Does Exercise Help Scoliosis?

Absolutely β€” but it’s the right kind of exercise that makes the difference.

Your muscles attach directly to your bones, including the vertebrae of your spine.

When scoliosis causes the spine to curve, it creates imbalance: some muscles become tight or overworked, while others weaken or lose proper function.

That’s why every scoliosis treatment plan at Green Space Health includes simple, customized at-home exercises.

These targeted routines are designed to correct muscle imbalances, improve stability, and support long-term spinal alignment — helping you feel stronger and move better.

🩺 Scoliosis & Surgery: What You Should Know

Surgery for Curvature of the Spine & Bracing for Scoliosis

Surgical treatment for scoliosis is usually considered only in severe cases where the spinal curvature is progressing rapidly or impacting vital functions.

However, mild to moderate scoliosis can often be managed effectively with non-invasive therapies, including chiropractic care, postural rehab, and bracing if necessary.

Even if your curve isn’t severe, some form of treatment is often recommended to reduce discomfort, prevent progression, and improve function.


❓ Can I Still Get Adjusted After Scoliosis Surgery?

Yes!
Chiropractic adjustments can still be beneficial after scoliosis surgery — when performed correctly and safely.

In fact, restoring movement to joints that have become restricted due to abnormal curvature (or post-surgical compensation) can help relieve tension, improve mobility, and support long-term spinal health.
