Is there a cure for a severe case of scoliosis, besides surgery?

Scoliosis Cure: The treatment of scoliosis can include many modalities. The choice of treatment varies by the diagnosis, age of patient ant degree of curvature. Treatment options include osteopathic or chiropractic manipulation, surgery, bracing, and physical therapy. You may wish to consult some of the specialties above for other treatment options.

No if idiopathic or : No, not if it is an idiopathic or congenital scoliosis curve. Curves related to neuromuscular disorders can also fit into this group. A scoliosis caused by a disc herniation can usually be treated nonop.

Probably not: If you truly have a structural scoliosis and it is greater than 45 degrees, only surgery can correct it. All that being said, I have seen patients who have been told they have severe scoliosis and do not, or they may have a non structural cause that is inherits fly treatable. For example, a person with a leg length discrepancy can have a non structural curve treated by a shoe lift. Thank you.
