Pain or scoliosis?: Chiropractic care can help with pain, but will not help/cur/correct scoliosis or kyphosis.

Depends on you goal: Chiropractic will not correct the curve. Mild pain is more likely muscular then structural from mild scoliosis, chiro intervention with post intervention exercise program can do a great job of treating mild musculoskeletal pain.
