Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine that occurs most often during the growth spurt just before puberty. While scoliosis can be caused by conditions such as cerebral palsy and muscular dystrophy, the cause of most scoliosis is unknown.

Jamar had x-rays done in our office and the results were pretty telling.

Gonstead Method in Inver Grove Heights MN

At RH Health & Injury we use a process called the Gonstead method.

The Gonstead method involves performing a complete analysis of the spine to detect the presence of subluxations. The system includes 5 diagnostic criteria. We start by examining posture and movement to identify problem areas.

One of the keys to the Gonstead method's success is the focus on keeping the spine neutral and targeting specific areas with much less twisting and cracking which unfortunately is often associated with chiropractic.

Based on those problem areas we create a health care playbook to specifically treat those problem areas.

As you can see with Jamar, x-rays are critically important in seeing what is going on within the body.

Originally Jamar came to see us about lower back pain but there was far more going on with scoliosis. Because of the scoliosis, Jamar's body was trying to compensate for this malady and causing pain in other areas as well such as his hips.

Almost any misalignment in the spine will cause movements and muscles to adapt to compensate for those misalignments. These compensations often compound pain issues and damage dramatically.

We do know that scoliosis can get worse over time so, just like in Jamar's case, timeliness is key when it comes to treating scoliosis.

With conditions that can't be remedied with just one treatment we will be recommending a treatment plan with regular follow-ups to track progress on the way to wellness. Even things like heel lifts are considered as ways to restore health and reduce pain where appropriate.

Jamar did a lot of research before visiting us at RH Health & Injury Specialists and was initially apprehensive about chiropractic treatment as an option.

But as you can see after watching the video, Jamar was very happy with this experience and because of his patient playbook, is on the way to wellness once again.
