Hey, this is Dr. Aaron over at Bear Chiropractic, one of the com most common things that we see in the office is some form of a scoliosis. So that is when you have a curve in the spine, an abnormal curve, right from our, from this view. Now, that can be because of a couple things, right? We can have the typical.

Juvenile idiopathic scoliosis, which is when the child develops it during maturity, right? The spinal maturity. Alright? And that’s where you wanna make sure we’re doing, you’re doing screenings to, to check to see if your child is starting to develop that. Alright? And then you can have a degenerative or an acquired scoliosis, right?

Where that’s where you know you favor one hip over the other. And you sit like this all the time. You slouch down. Unfortunately we’re not very symmetrical beings and we always favor one side or the other, and you can definitely develop a scoliosis that way. The big thing with that is you want to catch that as soon as possible because that can then turn into a degenerative one and when it becomes degenerative.
