It depends. There are two types of scoliosis- functional and structural. Functional scoliosis results from tight muscles that cause a compensatory deviation (curvature) of the spine, and this is the type of scoliosis that chiropractic care can change. Structural scoliosis happens during growth (or severe degeneration) and changes the shape and structure of the bones. Chiropractic care can help the pain and symptoms associated with structural scoliosis, but can not fix the curvature (because we can’t change the structure of the bones by adjustments).
