Although scoliosis has a documented occurrence rate of 5-10% in juveniles and adolescents, the rate of scoliosis jumps to at least 32%, and even up to 68% in seniors.

A 2005 study revealed that the occurrence of a De Novo scoliosis, or a new-onset scoliosis in adulthood, may affect two-thirds of our elderly population.

Although juveniles and adolescents with scoliosis rarely report pain as  a primary symptom, adults with scoliosis tend to develop chronic pain at higher rates than the rest of the population.

In 10 years we have hundreds of adult patients for scoliosis care, and have enjoyed high success rates. The ARC3D Therapy for scoliosis utilizes a broad base of techniques and procedures to facilitate immediate correction AND long-term neuromuscular rehabilitation for sustained benefit. Our collection of peer-reviewed research on scoliosis treatment is second to none in chiropractic medicine.
