Scoliosis Care in North Scottsdale
If you’ve noticed your child’s posture looks uneven, clothes hang oddly, or one shoulder appears higher than the other, your concern is valid. Hearing “wait and watch” or “we don’t know what causes it” can feel discouraging.
We’re proud to take a different approach. We believe that behind every curve in the spine lies a pattern in the nervous system that deserves early, gentle, specific care—long before more invasive options are considered.
Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine that often develops during the preteen and adolescent years, especially in young girls. While most cases are labeled idiopathic (cause unknown), Dr. Tuzzolino has observed that stress patterns in the nervous system can create imbalances in how muscles support the spine. Because nerves control muscles and muscles control the alignment of bones, interference in the nervous system may contribute to spinal misalignments as a child grows. Like a bent tree branch that continues to grow in that direction, a developing spine can adapt to these patterns and show scoliosis over time.
How Chiropractic Care Supports Your Child’s Spine and Nervous System
At Elevate Chiropractic, we first determine whether scoliosis is present, assess the degree and severity of the curvature, and decide whether conservative chiropractic management is appropriate or if a surgical consult is needed. Early detection opens the door to gentle, proactive care.
Through neurologically focused chiropractic adjustments and our Insight scanning technology, we work to improve spinal function and reduce stress patterns in the nervous system. Rather than forcing the spine into place, we support the body’s natural ability to align itself by restoring clarity and balance to the nervous system.
What to Expect During Scoliosis Care at Elevate Chiropractic
Your child’s visit begins with a thorough evaluation using gentle, non-invasive Insight scans and a detailed neurospinal assessment. Dr. Tuzzolino then creates a personalized care plan. Many families notice improvements in comfort, posture, and curve measurements within the first few months. We rescan regularly to track progress, and Dr. Tuzzolino sends you clear explanations so you can see how your child is responding to care.
