Scoliosis

Chiropractic Care for Scoliosis in Plymouth, MN

Scoliosis is often viewed simply as a sideways curvature of the spine, but for those living with it, the condition is much more complex. It can create muscle imbalances, uneven hips or shoulders, and chronic back pain that worsens after long days of sitting or standing.

At Bomberg Chiropractic, Dr. Tom Bomberg provides non-surgical support for patients with scoliosis in Plymouth and the surrounding Twin Cities. Whether you are an adolescent whose spine is still developing or an adult managing years of wear and tear, Dr. Bomberg’s goal is the same: to keep your spine flexible, functional, and pain-free.

Adolescent vs. Adult Scoliosis: A Personalized Approach

Scoliosis requires different care strategies depending on your stage of life.

  • For Adolescents: Care often focuses on monitoring the curve during growth spurts, maintaining proper alignment, and preventing the stiffness that can lead to pain in sports or daily activities.
  • For Adults: The focus shifts to mobility and management. Years of uneven pressure can cause discs and joints to wear down faster (degeneration).

Dr. Bomberg doesn’t use a cookie-cutter approach. He evaluates your specific curvature and creates a plan to reduce compensation patterns and support your long-term spinal health.

Signs Your Scoliosis Causes Dysfunction

Many people have mild scoliosis without knowing it, while others experience daily discomfort. Bomberg Chiropractic is here to help you manage pain, improve posture, and support overall spinal health.

Dr. Bomberg helps patients manage symptoms such as:

  • Muscle Fatigue: Feeling like the muscles on one side of your back are constantly working harder than the other.
  • Localized Back Pain: Persistent aches in the mid-back or lower back, often near the apex of the curve.
  • Stiffness: Reduced ability to twist or bend comfortably.
  • Clothes Fitting Poorly: Noticing that shirt sleeves or pant legs hang unevenly.

How Dr. Bomberg Manages Scoliosis Naturally

While severe cases may require bracing or surgery, most scoliosis patients need mechanical support to move better. Dr. Bomberg uses gentle chiropractic services and proven techniques to address the "compensation patterns" – the way your body twists and tightens to handle the curve.

Gentle Chiropractic Adjustments

In areas where the spine curves, joints often become "locked" or fixated. Dr. Bomberg often uses the Activator Method or manual adjustments to gently mobilize these joints. This doesn't "straighten" the spine permanently, but it restores motion to stuck vertebrae, reducing pain and slowing down degenerative changes.

Movement Based Massage (Soft Tissue Therapy)

Scoliosis stretches muscles on one side of the spine and shortens them on the other. Dr. Bomberg uses movement based massage to release the tight, shortened muscles and break up trigger points. This brings balance to the muscles supporting your spine.

Intersegmental Traction

To keep the spine pliable, Dr. Bomberg may use Intersegmental Traction. This therapy uses a table with rollers that gently mobilize the spine, stretching the ligaments and muscles to prevent the rigidity often associated with scoliosis.
