Better Health, Naturally

“I have scoliosis and have been seen by many chiropractors throughout my life. In the past I have always been treated for my symptoms at the time (ie. pain relief) Although I have received relief from these adjustments in the past I was never really working to correct the underlying issue with my spine. I began to see Dr. Leahy a year ago after the birth of my second daughter. She was able to determine through my x-rays that she could most likely reduce my curve through corrective care and repetitive traction. After being under Dr. Leahy’s care for a little over 2 months she reduced my curve by 7 degrees… which is huge. Dr. Leahy through her skill and dedication helped me to achieve a much healthier spine and body and reduced my pain significantly! Dr. Leahy genuinely cares about her patients and works very hard to insure their success in treatment. My whole family is under the care of Dr. Leahy and her office is the first place we go when my girls have a minor fall or are not feeling well. She has truly made a huge difference in our lives.”

“Leahy Chiropractic is a lifesaver. No, really. When I first came in, I was suffering (unknown to me) from scoliosis and other skeletal issues that had over the years culminated in some nasty pain. And I was used to the pain, used to that way of life. Dr. Leahy and her amazing staff accommodated me and set right in on treatment that didn’t simply help with pain, but was targeted to address the root problems. I had to do my part—stay on top of exercises and visits, pay attention to my posture, but Dr. Leahy worked tirelessly with me. I started to realize that pain should not be a way of life. That I could do things besides slapping pain-killer band-aids on the problem. What I love most about Dr. Leahy’s practice is that good chiropractic health promotes great general, all-around health. No one part of our bodies functions independently from others. Doesn’t it makes sense, then, that the skeletal system, the body’s infrastructure, is incredibly important to take care of? The best part of seeking treatment from Dr. Leahy is that my general quality of life has improved, including having more energy to devote to the things I love. I find myself wanting to treat myself better—healthy diet, getting some exercise, staying on top of my health. Only good can come of that. I’d recommend Dr. Leahy and her awesome staff to anyone who is tired of living with pain and ready to do something about it!”

What Makes A ScoliBrace Unique:

Custom made using a 3-D Scanner: Scoliosis is a 3 Dimensional condition, so effective treatments need to be 3 dimensional too.
ScoliBrace is a super-corrective brace. It works by guiding the body and spine into a posture that is the opposite of how the scoliosis is shaped. This is different than the traditional Boston Brace which is a “stabilizing” brace.
Curve reduction can be achieved in the majority of cases while improving the overall appearance of the body.
Easy to wear: ScoliBrace opens in the front, is lightweight, and not visible under clothing.

One of the most frustrating aspects of scoliosis for parents is that there are many different opinions.
