Hershey Family Chiropractic (HFC) is now offering new treatment technology for pre-surgical cases of scoliosis. Scoliosis is defined as a bend or curve in the spine where a healthy spine would be completely vertical. Although many cases of scoliosis begin while the body is going through rapid development, particularly in youth ages 10-12, the condition can also develop in adults as well.

Bad posture doesn’t just LOOK bad, it’s bad for your health. However, many people think that because they are not in pain, it’s not a big deal. Well, it is a big deal because poor posture leads to a forward head carriage (see photo above), as well as slouching.

We’ve all been there. You have pain or something feels off, you get every imaging study, every test, every blood draw and they are still telling you that there is NOTHING wrong, according to the tests. You want to be grateful because there isn’t anything major showing up but at the same time, you know how you feel each day and you are sick of feeling like you’re crazy.

We have had patients come into our office and tell us that their healthcare provider told them not to see a chiropractor if they have disc issues because we will hurt them or make their pain worse. ***Takes a moment to rub temples***
