1. Many times a chiropractor can help with the pain of scoliosis.

Manage it over time and you may avoid the surgery.

Many factors are involved in the progression though and a chiropractor can tell you that.

Surgery may be indicated if the curve is beginning to impair organ function like your lungs or heart.

If your head, rib cage and pelvis are in line with the midpoint between your feet, you have a good compensation and a better chance of managing it conservatively. If your body parts are shifted off the normal gravity line it is harder to manage conservatively.

Ask around among your friends for a recommendation. Look for one that addresses structural issues as a primary focus.
