“Scoliois in my spine? But I am 50 years old! I thought scoliosis was a spine curve in young people.”
Well, that is not fully factual. Vancouver Disc Centers sees many Vancouver seasoned patients with scoliosis and helps ease their pain with chiropractic.
Scoliosis (a curvature of the spine) can develop in the early years of life and then decline OR bring about
disc degeneration and pinched nerves in the
middle back and
lower back. The pinched nerves are formed by a condition called
spinal stenosis (a narrowing of the nerve opening spaces in the spine). Now, the condition of scoliosis and disc degeneration may cause pain in the legs due to stenosis. Pain down the legs called
sciatica is caused by a specific pinched nerve.
But chiropractic can help!
Spinal stenosis in older adults with scoliosis is commonplace in our chiropractic, so you’re not by yourself! As a matter of fact, one study of 36 patients with a mean age of 69 years had leg pain at a severity level of 6.5 (on a scale of 0 no pain to 10 the worst pain the patient had ever had). 97% of these patients also showed at least one level of severe stenosis, and all but one had severe leg pain, too.
