Scoliosis is the abnormal sideways curvature of the spine. While many cases are mild, severe progression can lead to chronic back pain, and difficulties with the heart and lungs. Here at Therapeutic Solutions, LLC in Newport News, VA, Dr. Christopher Brill has extensive experience treating patients with scoliosis, helping them slow down and even stop the progression of scoliosis.
Stopping the progression of scoliosis works the best in children before puberty stops. Wearing a brace while the bones are still growing makes it much more likely that there will be low progression in the curvature.
There are two types of braces recommended for scoliosis. One is an under-arm brace that will help curves in the middle spine and lower spine. A full-torso brace called the Milwaukee brace will help curves that are in the upper spine or the neck, as well as the lower and middle spine.
Dr. Brill also has treatment for those who do not need to wear a brace or for those whose bones have stopped growing. Spinal adjustments, physical therapy, home exercises, and monitoring can all help achieve pain relief due to scoliosis, as well as prevent future health issues in association with scoliosis.
Dr. Brill can take x-rays to determine the severity of the curvature in the spine and determine the best treatment for your specific case. Scoliosis is best caught early. If you are concerned about your spinal health or the spinal health of a loved one, please visit Dr. Brill for an evaluation.
