Scoliosis is curvature if the spine and there can be multiple causes. Most common is hereditary disposition. There is not much one can do to correct this once you reach age 30. However, you can still prevent it from getting worse with corrective exercises and chiropractic care. Obviously, the younger you are and the sooner you begin to treat scoliosis the better the results will be. I have seen adults with moderate scoliosis improve but it will not completely return to normal. The more severe the curvature the harder it will be to correct.
Why does my neck always crack?
When your neck cracks it is releasing pressure from the joints that connect to the cervical vertebrae above and below. It’s not a bad thing for it to crack on it’s own but it might READ MORE
When your neck cracks it is releasing pressure from the joints that connect to the cervical vertebrae above and below. It’s not a bad thing for it to crack on it’s own but it might indicate that the alignment is off and it needs to be corrected. In other words, it’s not bad that cracks but it’s probably bad that it needs to.
You should avoid forcing it to crack by yourself. If it’s cracking on it’s own I wouldn’t worry about it unless it causes pain or discomfort.
Then I would see your chiropractor and have your neck evaluated and properly adjusted.

Yes, chiropractic has been shown to be extremely effective in helping with herniated discs in the spine. It is a natural and conservative approach to relieve the pressure on the spinal nerves due to disc compression. Disc surgery should be considered the last option if the disc has completely herniated into the neural canal and all other therapies have failed. Most herniated discs will respond to chiropractic manipulation, though it may take several months of care depending on the degree to which the disc is herniated.

You can have neck pain for many reasons even if you don’t play sports. If you sleep in a weird position or with a different pillow you can get neck pain. If you have your head in one position for an extended period, you can get neck pain. Anytime one or more of the cervical vertebrae become fixated or locked, it’s possible to get neck pain. I’d recommend you see your chiropractor to help with your current situation. It shouldn’t be too difficult to figure out what's wrong and to correct the problem.

There are so many causes for your shoulder pain that it would be ridiculous to surmise or diagnose without a detailed history and examination. I would need to know the onset, is the pain radiating, is it related to an activity, a movement, pressure, certain position. Is it constant or intermittent? Is it a dull pain or sharp and shooting? Did it just appear suddenly or was it progressive? All these questions and more need to be assessed before deciding on a cause.

Yes, chiropractic adjustments are very helpful for chronic neck muscle pain. The cervical spinal nerves that exit between the neck vertebrae flow directly to the muscles in that area. The nerves allow for muscle contraction and sensation such as pain and pressure. By releasing the nerve pressure and allowing the nerve flow to the muscle, the muscles will relax and pain will diminish. Since the cervical vertebrae are mobile to allow for motion, the adjustment is easy and effective. I would recommend seeing a chiropractor for chronic neck pain for sure.

Absolutely, chiropractic is effective for treatment of neck pain. There are seven cervical vertebrae that are normally freely movable to allow neck motif in many directions. Occasionally, a vertebra gets locked or fixated and irritates the spinal nerves that exit between the vertebrae. The chiropractor will manipulate or adjust the fixation or subluxation and put that vertebrae back into motion. It may take several treatments to attain the proper alignment. You should seek chiropractic help as soon as possible to avoid any longer term issues.
