A member asked:

I'm seeing the chiropractor tomorrow. i'm pretty sure i have scoliosis. does the chiropractor check for it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe: Chiropractors are not a highly regulated profession and thus it is hard to say if one if good or not. Their practice is not necessarily based on peer-reviewed evidence. Many in the profession are quacks.
