Is Chiropractic Treatment Recommended for Scoliosis?
The use of chiropractic treatment in treating scoliosis has not been well-studied, thereby giving very little hard evidence in its effectiveness as a treatment option. Mild cases of scoliosis are thought to be helped to some extent by chiropractic treatment methods, namely spinal adjustments and postural counseling. More extreme cases in which the spine is curved dramatically have not been studied well enough to draw a conclusion; however, there is emerging research which suggests chiropractic treatment may be beneficial for those with severe scoliosis.
