How One of the Best Chiropractors in Ann Arbor Can Help

Dr. Bill Thatcher can help relieve your pain by making gentle adjustments to your spine that will help relieve stress on your nervous system. During your first visit, Dr. Thatcher will use a MyoVision scanner to see the electrical activity in the muscles near the spine to see where to focus.

If your scoliosis makes you lean to a certain side, your muscles on that side of your body are working overtime while the muscles on the other side can be weak. Dr. Thatcher can provide exercises to help strengthen the weak muscles, help you stand more evenly, and decrease your pain.

What is Scoliosis?

Do you have chronic back pain?

Do you feel like your posture is uneven?

You could have scoliosis. According to the National Scoliosis Foundation, over 7 million people in the United States have been diagnosed with scoliosis. 

Scoliosis is a deformity that affects the curvature of the spine. The spine naturally has a slight curve, but scoliosis can make it appear C-shaped or S-shaped. Scoliosis is progressive, meaning the degree of the curvature can get worse over time.
