Dr. Shona Ritchie was born and raised on the Saskatchewan prairies and relocated to the Penticton in 2020. Although she loves the yellow Canola fields and beautiful big skies, the mountains and lakes were calling her name! She loves to hike, bike and explore the Okanagan Valley with her energetic pup, Jackson, and her partner, Chris. Dr. Shona has spent the majority of her life involved in sports and fitness, and competed as a long distance runner, and a University level High Jump and Triple Jump athlete. After tearing her ACL in an accident on the track, she worked with a team of professionals during her rehab.

Today, Dr. Shona feels fortunate to have a career where she is able to work closely with her patients, incorporating chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue work, taping, rehab and exercise therapy. She loves to help her patients reach their goals and better perform the activities they love!

It's great that you're considering chiropractic care for various conditions. Chiropractors can indeed provide treatments to address neuromusculoskeletal issues, including those related to scoliosis, hip and pelvis pain, and shoulder arthritis. However, it's important to consult with a qualified healthcare professional, such as a local chiropractor, to determine the most appropriate treatment approach for your specific situation.

For scoliosis, chiropractic care may involve spinal adjustments and exercises aimed at improving posture and reducing spinal curvature. A chiropractor can assess the severity of scoliosis and provide appropriate treatment recommendations.

In the case of hip and pelvis pain, chiropractors can assess the underlying cause of the pain and provide treatments such as spinal adjustments, soft tissue therapy, exercises, and other modalities to alleviate symptoms and promote healing.

Regarding shoulder arthritis, chiropractors may offer non-surgical treatment options to help manage the condition. These options can include rest, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs), chiropractic adjustments to improve range of motion, corticosteroid injections, and heat/cold therapy. However, the specific treatment plan would depend on the individual's condition and should be discussed with a chiropractor.

Remember, while chiropractic care can be beneficial for many individuals, it's important to have a thorough evaluation by a qualified healthcare professional to ensure that the treatments are appropriate for your specific needs. Consulting with a local chiropractor would allow you to discuss your condition in detail and determine the best course of action.
