Haque Chiropractic dedicating August to scoliosis screenings for children in Livermore, CA
SCOLIOSIS often deprives people of the things they enjoy most in life as well as in some cases, the ability to learn and prosper. SCOLIOSIS is the unnatural sideward curvature of the spine that occurs quite often in children and young adults. The early detection and treatment of SCOLIOSIS during the formative years may help prevent it from worsening over time.
As the chiropractic focus is on spinal related conditions CHIROPRACTORS are highly qualified to diagnose and treat scoliosis.
Several patients in my office with chronic back, neck, or head complaints often have a diagnosis of scoliosis that was untreated as a child. In many of these cases their scoliosis was untreated due to it being hidden and never diagnosed and in other cases; the treatment modalities were not effective in managing and reducing the scoliotic curve. For this reason, we at Haque Chiropractic are devoting our efforts to decrease the serious effects of scoliosis by screening our children in the month of August for possible scoliosis.
In order to examine for scoliosis, a complete examination including postural tests, orthopedic tests, neurologic tests and chiropractic tests will be preformed. In addition, if any scoliosis is suspected on these tests, a spinal X-ray will complete the exam to diagnose the scoliotic curvature and its severity. Parents will then get the opportunity to see their x-rays and hear the findings and options that may be available for treatment.
These scoliosis examinations will be available to all school aged children at Haque Chiropractic complimentary during the week of August 16-20th. For more information or to schedule your child’s appointment, contact us or call us today at (925)960-1960.
