Bracing is a proven, effective non-surgical way to treat Scoliosis.

Scoliosis is a disorder that causes an abnormal curve of the spine. Early detection is imperative in treating Scoliosis as effectively as possible. We recommend that all children be checked  by a qualified professional for spinal abnormalities before they are about 9 years old. Often times, parents are told that exercise like swimming will help Scoliosis, or that simple, non-specific treatment can correct the curvature. However, the fact is that swimming and other non-specific exercises and treatments will not correct scoliosis. Going this route actually allows the Scoliosis to progress as it is being left untreated and being allowed to progress. Furthermore, many health professions will encourage you to “wait and see” because they are not sure as to how to treat Scoliosis. Eventually, if the magnitude of the curve is allowed to progress enough, it is then often treated with surgery. At Shaughnessy Chiropractic, Dr. Kenny Chan is an expert when it comes to treating Scoliosis non-surgically.

Most Insurance Companies cover scoliosis treatment and the SpineCor brace or the Scolibrace.
