Scoliosis
Scoliosis is a sideway curving of the spine that often begins during the developmental years as the vertebral column continues to grow. It is more prevalent in girls. The most prominent indication is an uneven shoulder height or change in posture.
The cause is unknown. Most commonly it is a result of adaptation and/or compensation to some type of physical trauma such as car accidents, falling down stairs or off bicycles. Since spinal bones continue to develop well into the twenties, if left uncorrected, scoliosis often worsens.
Chiropractic examination can reveal small problems before they become serious and unmanageable. If detected early on, chiropractors have had outstanding success with scoliosis patients.

Testimonials
I have been suffering with mid back and neck pain for the last 4 years. The pain started after I removed my brace which I was forced to wear because I had a conditiion called scoliosis. Since then I had this unwanted pain on a daily basis, my digestion was off, and I often had bouts of diarrea. I suffered from headaches and fatigue and am only 19 years old. This pain has affected my ability to study and my time with my friends. I am always in a bad mood because of the pain. I took Tylenol regularly, but that hadn't numbed my pain.
When I met Dr. Goel, she explained to me that the pain I was experiencing, wasn't necessarily from the scoliosis, but from the subluxation. I felt relieved to at last know the underlying cause.
In as little as five adjustments, I saw that I had more energy, was less fatigued and the pain had lessened.
Thank you for showing me the light at the end of the tunnel!

I am only 13 years old when I noticed my posture changing drastically. My right shoulder is lower than my left by one inch and my clothes were not fitting the way they used to. All of a sudden I realized that the pain in my lower back could have been the warning sign that I ignored for 2 years. The pain made me irritable and I saw no hope of ever getting rid of the pain.
Thankfully, someone had mentioned Dr. Goel’s name and the next day my mom made an appointment for me.
Dr. Goel was so kind, helpful and reassuring. She explained my x-rays and told me that statistics proved that chiropractic could be very helpful in the treatment of scoliosis.
Well, after just a few adjustments, I began to feel less pain and more energized. I was a happier family member and a happier person with my friends.
Thank you Dr. Goel, for showing me the safest and most effective way to get rid of the pain. No unsightly braces or surgery for me.
