Explore effective chiropractic treatments for Scheuermann's disease and improve your spinal health today.

Scheuermann's disease is an abnormal growth of the spine that causes vertebrae to wedge, resulting in a rounded back. It's most common in adolescents (mainly boys) between the age of 10-15 and is often associated with sports that involve repeated flexion and extension.

Treatment includes exercise, very gentle mobilisation of the surrounding areas and sports restrictions.
