Can a Chiropractor Help with Scoliosis?
Scoliosis is a sideways curve of the spine. Since the spine is supposed to curve front to back, but not sideways, when it does curve sideways it’s called “curvature” of the spine. The most common time for scoliosis to appear is in adolescence so it’s important to be checked as a teenager, and if detected, it’s necessary to repeat tests in order to know the rate of progression. Most cases are mild, in which case chiropractic treatment is very effective at managing the symptoms of scoliosis, but occasionally moderate or severe cases can cause spinal deformity that can lead to other issues in the body, so it’s important to make sure your case isn’t progressing.
Scoliosis leads to increased biomechanical stress on spinal joints, which ultimately makes you likely to develop pain in the region. The active massage employed at Acorn Wellness Center reduces muscle tension and the chiropractic adjustments increase motion of the spinal joints, helping your body to maintain flexibility. Regular visits will keep pain at bay, as well will prevent your scoliosis from progressively getting worse.
The goal of your Walnut Creek chiropractor will be to improve the form and function of your body, which is possible even if the scoliosis doesn’t go away, which ultimately leads to a better quality of life.
If you are dealing with pain or discomfort from scoliosis, it’s time to add your Walnut Creek chiropractor to your care team. Acorn Wellness Center specializes in treating problems of the musculoskeletal system. Whether you recently learned that you have scoliosis, or have been dealing with it for decades, let us help you get on a course of healing and long-term spinal health.

Meet Our Chiropractor
Acorn Wellness Center in Walnut Creek, CA is run by Chiropractor Elon Bartlett. Dr Bartlett is one of Walnut Creek’s top-rated chiropractors, and has been specializing in prenatal and postpartum chiropractic care since 2001, making him one of the Bay Area’s most experienced chiropractors as well.
Dr. Bartlett has always had a passion for optimal body mechanics and bodywork which can be seen in his background as a massage therapist and advanced student of Tai Chi Chuan. Another passion of his, empowering birth, began as a child upon seeing images of his own, peaceful home birth. Once he made the progression from massage therapist to chiropractor, he combined his passions by specializing in prenatal and postpartum chiropractic care.
From his Walnut Creek, CA office, Dr. Bartlett practices Diversified chiropractic, incorporating Activator, Drop, NeuroMuscular Re-education (NMR), and CranioSacral Therapy (CST) into his treatments. His treatment style is gentle and precise, meaning he only uses as much force as is required to achieve the desired result. What sets him apart as a chiropractor is that he begins every treatment with NMR, a therapeutic form of massage, to soften muscle tension first and then uses manual palpation to assess what treatment is needed, only relying on X-Ray when required.
