Discovering Relief: How Chiropractic Care Can Ease Scheuermann's Disease Symptoms



What is Scheuermann's Disease?

Do you or does your child have an increased hump in their mid back? It Could be Scheuermann's.


- This is when the endplates in three or more vertebrae have not grown properly in the teen years which is believed to be the cause of the deformity.


- It is important to get an X-rays diagnosis as it's essential to differentiate bad posture(aka a functional cause) versus Scheuermann's.


How can the team at Health Wise Chiropractic Help?

The chiropractors will evaluate the spine and muscles to see whether it's just a functional problem(bad posture) or whether it is Scheuermann's.


If the curve is less than 60 degrees, most cases respond to conservative care with Chiropractic which involves postural exercises, hamstring stretches (see below), and adjusting the spine with soft tissue therapy to surrounding muscles.
