Chiropractic Significantly Improves Scoliosis

Chiropractic care, including adjustments and exercises, may significantly improve scoliosis, according to a new report.

The study included 28 patients with scoliosis. According to the report, “The average beginning primary Cobb angle was 44″. Patients received the same chiropractic rehabilitation program for approximately 6 months. At the end of active treatment, improvements were recorded in Cobb angle, pain scores, spirometry, and disability rating. All radiographic findings were maintained a 24-month follow-up”

Findings showed that patients “reported improvements in pain, Cobb angle, and disability immediately following the conclusion of treatment and 24 months later.”
