At Ocean City Chiropractic, in Plymouth city centre (Ground Floor, 3 The Crescent, Plymouth PL1 3AB), Dr Dane Jacks and Dr Freya Soper, Doctors of Chiropractic registered with the General Chiropractic Council, assess your spine and posture, explain what they find, and build a plan around comfort, movement and strength. We don't claim to straighten a scoliosis curve.

Does this sound like you?

  • One shoulder or hip sits higher than the other
  • An uneven waistline
  • A rib hump when you bend forward
  • Your back aches or tires with standing
  • You've been told you have scoliosis and want to stay active
  • Stiffness that's crept up over the years

What causes scoliosis?

Scoliosis means the spine curves to the side. There are two broad types:

  • Functional curves come from something else, such as a muscle imbalance or a difference in leg length, and can change
  • Structural curves are built into the shape of the spine
  • Either type can bring uneven loading, which is often where the aches and stiffness come from
  • For children and teenagers who are still growing, a curve needs specialist monitoring, and that comes first
