Specializes in General Practice

Various Ways: Non-surgical scoliosis correction relies upon maximizing spine posture in the upright position. Often, spine assumes a compensatory & non-fixed curve due to unequal leg lengths or pelvic girdle tilting. An heel lift can be used if one leg is shorter. Yoga, back exercises, swimming, and physical therapy are considerations to develop compensatory strength of back. Weight must be reduced if excess.
