A member asked:
Is there benefit for a child with horrible scoliosis to see a chiropractor?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Depends...: First and foremost, your child should be seen by a pediatric orthopaedic surgeon specializing in scoliosis. Once that has been done, a chiropractor can be utilized only as an adjunct to the treatment prescribed by the specialist.

No : There is no chiropractic treatment for scoliosis unless the scoliosis is from a spasm due to a disc herniation..
