A member asked:
Could a chiropractor help with scoliosis when it is a teenager who has it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: Depends on severity of curve. Unlikely that chiropractor would affect progression of curve unless braces patient. Idiopathic scoliosis varies in its severity. Usually affects mainly teenage girls. Should get opinion from orthopedic surgeon.
