What Causes Scoliosis?

Scoliosis may be classified in several ways depending on its cause and age of onset. Dr. Adib Ashraf assesses presentations including:

  • Idiopathic scoliosis — the most common form, with no clearly identified single cause
  • Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis — presenting during growth periods
  • Degenerative scoliosis — associated with age-related spinal changes in adults
  • Functional scoliosis — associated with postural imbalances or leg length discrepancy

A thorough assessment helps identify the type and contributing factors relevant to your presentation. Dr. Adib Ashraf will give you an honest evaluation following examination.

How Chiropractic May Support Scoliosis Management

Chiropractic care for scoliosis focuses on managing associated discomfort, supporting spinal mobility, and addressing contributing musculoskeletal factors. Research suggests chiropractic assessment may play a supportive role in managing pain and function for individuals with scoliosis. Dr. Adib Ashraf will assess your spinal curvature and associated joint and muscle patterns. Some patients notice improvements in comfort and posture over the course of care. Timelines and outcomes vary based on the severity and type of scoliosis, and Dr. Adib Ashraf will give you a realistic assessment of what chiropractic care may offer for your situation.

How Dr. Adib Ashraf Uses the ProAdjuster for Scoliosis

The ProAdjuster is a computerized chiropractic system that measures spinal joint resistance and delivers precise, low-force adjustments. For patients with scoliosis, this allows Dr. Adib Ashraf to assess individual spinal segments and apply targeted care without the forces associated with manual manipulation. The ProAdjuster’s gentle, instrument-based approach is particularly suited to patients with uneven spinal curvatures or areas of structural asymmetry. Dr. Adib Ashraf incorporates the ProAdjuster into scoliosis care plans at Divine Spine Yorkdale.

Chiropractic Scoliosis Care in Toronto: What to Expect

Scoliosis management through chiropractic care is focused on function and comfort — not curve correction. The goal is to support spinal mobility, reduce associated muscle tension, and help patients maintain the best possible quality of movement given the degree of curvature present. At Divine Spine Yorkdale, Dr. Adib Ashraf approaches scoliosis cases with careful attention to the patient’s current curve, symptom presentation, and history. The ProAdjuster is particularly well-suited for scoliosis patients because it allows for precise, gentle input at specific spinal levels without applying broad rotational forces to the spine. Adult patients with established scoliosis who experience periodic flare-ups of back or rib discomfort often find that consistent chiropractic care helps manage symptoms and maintain function over time. If you or a family member has a confirmed scoliosis diagnosis and is looking for a conservative management option in the North York or Yorkdale area, Dr. Ashraf is available for an initial assessment.
