Scoliosis Care in Calgary
Scoliosis can show up in childhood, during teen growth spurts, or later in adulthood. If you’re noticing uneven posture, recurring tension, or stiffness that makes daily life feel harder, know you are definitely not alone. At Memorial Drive Chiropractic and Massage, we take a gentle, nervous system focused approach that’s centered on helping you feel more comfortable in your body.
Understanding Scoliosis
Scoliosis is a sideways curve in the spine that can look like an S or C shape. Some people are born with it, others develop it during childhood or adolescence, and many adults experience spinal changes over time. Even a mild curve can be linked with muscle tension, fatigue, stiffness, or a sense that your body is pulling more to one side.
Why Symptoms Can Feel Worse Over Time
There is rarely one single cause behind the discomfort people feel. Genetics, growth patterns, injuries, repetitive strain, desk posture, and stress can all influence how your spine and nervous system adapt. When your body is under ongoing stress, it can be harder to maintain balance, mobility, and comfortable movement.
How We Support Scoliosis Comfort and Function
Chiropractic care doesn’t aim to straighten or correct a scoliosis curve. Instead, care focuses on supporting spinal movement, easing tension, and helping the nervous system adapt more comfortably to structural changes. Many people seek care to improve how they move, sit, sleep, and function day to day.
We look at more than the curve itself. Our focus is to understand how your spine is moving and how your nervous system is responding to daily life. Gentle chiropractic care may help reduce tension, improve mobility, and support better posture habits over time.
Calgary chiropractor Dr. Ryan Wagemakers explains, “Our focus is helping your body feel more balanced and comfortable, so daily movement doesn’t feel like such a struggle.”
Depending on your needs, we may also recommend massage therapy, custom orthotics, or spinal decompression when appropriate.
Chiropractic care can be used on its own or alongside other approaches such as physiotherapy, exercise programs, or bracing when recommended by another provider. Our role is to support spinal function and nervous system balance, while respecting any existing care plans you may already be following.
What to Expect at Your First Visit
Your first appointment includes a detailed evaluation of posture, mobility, and your health history. If helpful, we may also use Insight scans to better understand patterns of stress and tension. If imaging or co management is appropriate, we’ll discuss that with you and help guide next steps.
