Some adults develop scoliosis later in life as disc degeneration and joint wear cause the spine to shift asymmetrically. This degenerative form often produces more pain than the adolescent form, because the curvature is accompanied by structural breakdown in the affected segments. The pain is coming from two sources at once: the curve and the degeneration feeding it.
Chiropractic care for degenerative scoliosis focuses on managing pain and maintaining function. Dr. Bronstein at Beacon Clinic of Chiropractic works with these patients to preserve mobility and reduce discomfort while slowing the compounding effect of the degenerative process on the curvature.
