The chiropractic approach to addressing scoliosis takes time and commitment from the patient
. Because the scoliosis has progressed over years, the body has come to believe this is normal and it will take time to properly correct the problem. Using a combination of specific adjustments and exercises, a chiropractor tries to reestablish a "new normal" for the spine and stabilize the area using therapeutic exercises to strengthen the supporting muscles. Much of this work (80%) has to be done by the patient and it is a long term commitment to ensure success. You wouldn't go to the gym and expect to get in shape after 2-3 visits would you? To get in shape you need to come up with a plan and stick with it and continually work to maintain your physique. The same approach is applied by chiropractic physicians to effectively treat scoliosis. Let's get to work!!!
