Inversion tables and scoliosis, what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Little evidence: Two issues for adults with scoliosis include back pain and curve worsening. Not much really helps to prevent it from getting worse if the curve is already big. Back pain can be treated with avoidance of painful activities, antiinflammatory meds, and, especially, back strengthening exercises. Inversion tables may help to stretch the back and apply traction but the effect will likely be temporary.
