Hey XXXXXXX
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..
How was your day?
Hope this message finds you in good health.
I have gone through your query in detail and understand your concern.
my first concern is that at such a young age,why would you develop scoliosis and arthritis,because these usually occur at menopausal age (around 50 yrs ).
though going to a chiropractor wont do any harm to you,but that wont solve the problem permanently.
you should get a thorough evaluation of your spine done to find out the root cause of this disease. you should consult a orthopedist instead of taking temporary settings with chiropractor.
an mri of spine with whole spine screening will help.
blood evaluation with calcium and vitamin D levels, can assess whether you have osteopenia causing weak bones and arthritis.
do get the necessary investigations done and let me know the results so that i could guide you further.
chiropractic adjustments wont prevent or prolong the arthritis unless the root cause of arthritis is found out and treated appropriately
I hope your question has been answered.
Feel free to consult me anytime for follow-up queries.
Take care,God bless.
Wish you a healthy life : )
If you do not have any clarifications,you can close the discussion.
