Scoliosis is a condition characterized by an abnormal curvature of the spine, which can lead to pain, discomfort, and impaired function. At our practice, we offer effective management of scoliosis through a combination of chiropractic care, exercise programs, and supportive therapies.
Scoliosis can develop during childhood or adolescence, but it can also occur in adults due to degenerative changes in the spine. Symptoms of scoliosis include uneven shoulders, a visible curve in the spine, back pain, and reduced range of motion. If left untreated, scoliosis can lead to more serious complications, including respiratory and cardiovascular issues.
Our approach to managing scoliosis begins with a thorough assessment to determine the severity and type of curvature. This includes a detailed medical history, physical examination, and diagnostic imaging if necessary. Based on our findings, we develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
Chiropractic care is a cornerstone of our scoliosis management. Our experienced chiropractor uses gentle adjustments to improve spinal alignment, reduce nerve irritation, and enhance overall function. While chiropractic adjustments cannot reverse scoliosis, they can help manage symptoms, reduce pain, and improve quality of life.
In addition to chiropractic care, we provide personalized exercise programs designed to strengthen the muscles supporting the spine, improve posture, and increase flexibility. These exercises are tailored to your fitness level and specific curvature, ensuring that you achieve the best possible results.
Massage therapy is another effective treatment for scoliosis. Our skilled massage therapist uses techniques such as deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, and myofascial release to relieve muscle tension, improve circulation, and promote relaxation. Massage therapy can help reduce pain, enhance flexibility, and support the overall management of scoliosis.
For individuals with severe scoliosis, we may recommend additional supportive therapies such as bracing or physical therapy. Bracing can help to prevent further curvature progression, especially in growing children and adolescents. Physical therapy can provide targeted exercises and stretches to support spinal health and improve function.
At Foothills Chiropractic and Sports Injury Clinic, we believe in a holistic approach to managing scoliosis that addresses both the symptoms and underlying causes. Our multidisciplinary team works together to provide comprehensive care and support your journey to better spinal health.

Feel Something Wrong With Your Bones?
MAKE APPOINTMENTBefore I started seeing Dr Haas, I was looking into knee and hip replacement surgery. I had been to physical therapy and Orthopedic doctors for shots. I was in a lot of pain and my movement was rapidly diminishing. I was afraid that within months/years I would be in a wheelchair. My hip was so far out of alignment it was causing all kinds of problems. Thanks to Dr. Haas, I only limp when I am very tired and have very little discomfort comparatively. My quality of life is exponentially better. I am working on regaining the strength I lost; but I honestly couldn’t be happier. Thank you to Dr. Haas and the Foothills Chiropractic staff. They really care!
~NancyWith a lifetime of back issues and chiropractic patient experience, I am super grateful to have been referred to Dr. Haas. He takes his treatments and patient care to a much higher level giving me a better understanding of the complex issues I'm dealing with. He is super knowledgeable, invests in high-level tables/tools, and has many different methods to relieve/resolve back pain. What I love most is his compassion, sincere desire, and ability to bring balance back to the body. You may have to wait longer during your appointments, he's not a get you in-get you out kind of guy. He really wants to understand what his patients are dealing with. Plus, you're not the only one seeking his care. He's that good!
