Our approach
How we treat scoliosis in Laguna Niguel
- Step 1
Visual and x-ray assessment
Diagnosis is conducted by visual and x-ray methods so we can see the actual shape and degree of the curvature before recommending anything.
- Step 2
A completely non-invasive procedure
Dr. Mousavi performs a completely non-invasive procedure, so there is no surgery to worry about. Chiropractic treatment is often effective immediately — for a patient in intense pain, relief may come after just one visit.
- Step 3
Follow-up adjustments
Follow-up visits will likely be necessary. For children and teens especially, ongoing care aims to address the underlying condition rather than only the symptoms.
The basics
Understanding scoliosis
Scoliosis is defined as an abnormal curvature of the spine. In the vast majority of cases the curvature is sideways, but there may be more than one curvature in people with scoliosis. It's estimated that almost three percent of the population has scoliosis. Diagnosis is conducted by visual and x-ray methods.
Scoliosis can form as the result of a birth deformity or as an effect of an underlying condition such as cerebral palsy or muscular dystrophy. It's commonly believed that scoliosis is a hereditary condition, although there are cases where no hereditary link is found. Whatever the cause, Dr. Mousavi can help alleviate the resulting discomfort and pain associated with scoliosis.
