Chiropractic

Chiropractic is from Greek words meaning done by hand. It is a system of healing or therapy that deals with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mechanical disorders of the skeletal, muscular and nervous systems. The method of treatment commonly involves manipulation of the spinal column and other body structures. It is grounded in the principle that the body can heal itself when the skeletal, muscular and nervous systems are all functioning properly.

Are herniated discs a result of scoliosis?

Although scoliosis, or abnormal curvature of the spine, may predispose one to disc herniation, a herniated disc signifies that the disc (or jelly-like cushion between each intervertebral spine) has moved out of place.

Will pro adjuster chiropractic help an 80 year old with degenerative back disease?

Probably Not.

The pro-adjuster is supposed to be a "computerized" form of spinal manipulation. Although some people claim that they have benefited from treatment with the pro-adjuster, there is no peer-reviewed research (yet) that suggests pro-adjuster is beneficial for any condition at all (if this ever changes I will modify this answer). Sadly, despite having no evidence-base whatsoever, the pro-adjuster is marketed as an effective form of care. Sometimes it is even falsy described as being "developed by NASA", which is completely false advertising. You are better off findiing a real chiropractor who uses manual spinal manipulation or spinal mobilization, as there is good peer-reviewed research to support this kind of therapy for the treatment of back pain.

Unfortunately, If you are looking for a treatment to "fix" degenerative joint disease, there are none. However, chiropractic care is well known for its ability to reduce pain for people with degenerated joints (arthritis). Once you have reached an advanced stage of joint degeneration...pain control is really the only option. This is why lifestyle choices are so important when we are young, to try to prevent joint degeneration (good diet, exercise, etc.).
