Scoliosis Treatment Dubai | Franklin Chiropractic & Physiotherapy

What is Scoliosis?

Scoliosis is a condition where the spine curves sideways, often creating an “S” or “C” shape. It can develop during childhood, adolescence, or adulthood, leading to posture changes, discomfort, and, in some cases, limited mobility or breathing difficulties.

At Franklin Chiropractic & Physiotherapy Dubai, we provide personalised, non-invasive care plans to help manage scoliosis, reduce symptoms, and improve posture, without relying on surgery.

Common Symptoms of Scoliosis

✔️ Uneven shoulders or hips
✔️ One shoulder blade that sticks out more than the other
✔️ Visible curve in the spine
✔️ Back pain or discomfort
✔️ Muscle imbalances or stiffness
✔️ Fatigue after prolonged standing or walking
✔️ In severe cases, breathing difficulties

Mild scoliosis may go unnoticed, while more significant curves can cause pain, postural changes, and functional issues.

What Causes Scoliosis?

The exact cause of scoliosis isn’t always clear, but common types include:

• Idiopathic Scoliosis (most common, especially in adolescents)
• Congenital Scoliosis (present from birth)
• Degenerative Scoliosis (linked to age-related spinal changes)
• Neuromuscular Scoliosis (associated with muscular conditions)

Poor posture doesn’t cause scoliosis but can worsen its appearance and discomfort, especially in adults.
