The Best Exercises for Scoliosis (From La Cañada Chiropractors)
The best (and safest) exercises for scoliosis, from doctors who treat it every day at Flintridge Family Chiropractic in La Cañada Flintridge.
If you've Googled "best exercises for scoliosis," you've probably seen a dozen conflicting lists. Here's what our doctors actually give patients — and, just as importantly, what we tell them to stop doing.
Scoliosis is a lateral curvature of the spine. Chiropractic care can't 'straighten' the spine, but it can significantly reduce pain and improve function.
Rule #1: Move the Stiff Joints, Stabilize the Loose Ones
Most people with scoliosis intuitively stretch the area that hurts. The problem is that the painful area is often the unstable segment — it's already moving too much. Stretching it more can make things worse. The area you actually need to work on is usually the joint above or below.
