Taking the Lead in Empowering Chiropractors in Scoliosis Management

Scoliosis can affect up to 5% of children, 32% of older adults, and 68% of the geriatric population. Despite its prevalence, managing scoliosis remains a challenge for many practitioners. For chiropractors, accurate diagnosis and effective management skills are crucial, as they are ideally positioned to take a leading role in the ongoing detection and care of patients with scoliosis. This one-hour session is designed to update your clinical knowledge with the latest evidence-based practices for diagnosing and managing scoliosis. Dr. McAviney will explore topics including the prevalence and impact of scoliosis across different age groups, challenges in screening and assessment, modern approaches in scoliosis rehabilitation and bracing, the role of chiropractors in patient-centered care, and case co-management strategies for optimal outcomes. This session will also clarify the chiropractor’s role within the broader healthcare community, emphasizing when chiropractic management is appropriate and when collaboration and co-management are necessary. Attend this session to enhance your expertise in scoliosis management, learn how to make informed decisions that positively impact patient outcomes, and establish yourself as a key contributor to the multidisciplinary management of scoliosis.
