Q: Is chiropractic care safe after scoliosis surgery?

A: Yes, chiropractic care can be a safe and effective complement to your post-operative recovery. Our chiropractors are trained to work with patients who have undergone spinal surgery and will carefully assess your condition to ensure that our adjustments are appropriate.

Q: How often will I need chiropractic adjustments?

A: The frequency of your chiropractic adjustments will depend on your individual needs and progress. Initially, you may require more frequent visits as your body adjusts to post-operative changes. Over time, the frequency may decrease as your condition improves.

Q: Can chiropractic care help prevent future scoliosis progression?

A: While chiropractic care cannot reverse the existing curvature of your spine, it can help improve spinal alignment and reduce stress on the affected area, which may help prevent further progression.

Q: Will chiropractic care interfere with my physical therapy?

A: No, chiropractic care can actually complement your physical therapy program. Our chiropractors can help improve your range of motion and reduce pain, making it easier for you to participate in physical therapy exercises.

Q: How long does post-operative recovery typically take?

A: The duration of your recovery will vary depending on the severity of your scoliosis, the type of surgery you underwent, and your overall health. While some patients may experience significant improvement within a few months, others may require longer-term care.

Q: Can I still exercise after scoliosis surgery?

A: Yes, exercise is an important part of post-operative recovery. However, it’s crucial to follow your surgeon’s guidelines and engage in activities that are appropriate for your healing process. Our physical therapists can help you develop a safe and effective exercise plan.

Q: Will I need to wear a brace after surgery?

A: Whether or not you’ll need to wear a brace after surgery will depend on your specific circumstances. Your surgeon will advise you on the appropriate course of action.

Q: What can I expect during a chiropractic adjustment?

A: A chiropractic adjustment involves a gentle manipulation of the spine to restore proper alignment and improve joint function. While you may experience some slight discomfort during the adjustment, it should not be painful.

Q: Can chiropractic care help with other post-operative symptoms, such as numbness or tingling?

A: In some cases, chiropractic care can help alleviate symptoms such as numbness or tingling that may be associated with post-operative nerve irritation.
