A member asked:
Can a chiropractor permanently fix scoliosis or lumbago in the back?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: Scoliosis refers to the shape of your spine, and lumbago to symptoms you experience. Chiropracters may help relieve your back pain, but do not change the anatomy of your spine.

No: Chiropractors cannot fix anything. For these problems you need to see an orthopedic specialist.
