Diagnosing Scoliosis With A Redondo Beach CA Chiropractor
Scoliosis is defined as an abnormal curve in the spine and there are several types of scoliosis based on the cause and age when the curve develops. Unfortunately, there is no cure for scoliosis, but there is treatment available in Redondo Beach CA. To diagnose scoliosis, our doctors at Catalina Chiropractic Center will perform a series of physical tests to determine the severity of the spinal curve.
Chiropractors in Redondo Beach CA Treat Scoliosis
During the physical exam, the doctor will ask if there is any history of scoliosis in your family and if you have experienced any pain or weakness. He or she may check range of motion, muscle strength, and reflexes, but will ultimately perform something called the forward-bend test. During this test, the patient will bend over as if they are trying to touch their toes. This position makes the curve more obvious to detect.
