What are the alternative medicines for mild dextrose scoliosis?!


Question: Chiropractors may be able to help with non-structural scoliosis (spinal curve that has an underlying cause), but chiropractors, message therapists, acupuncturists, etc., can't fix idiopathic scoliosis. These people adjust the soft, connective tissues and that may (or may not, you can't tell ahead of time) make you feel better, but remember, idiopathic scoliosis is not a connective tissue disease.

Your best bet is to see a scoliosis specialist. He'll either give you exercises or send you to PT. If your description is right, your curve isn't bad enough to do anything else, which is good :-)

Chiropractic is very effective for scoliosis. In most cases, the scoliosis will never go away. If it is mild and you're older than 15 surgery is not indicated. (Note: dextro- just means the curve is to the right) Exercises will be necessary to keep the supporting musculature strong. The chiro will give you those exercises. Joint supplements also help (glucosamine/chondroitin). The key with scoliosis is to get as well as possible and stay well, because the longer you wait the longer results will take to show. Best of luck to you.

Edit: There is no surgery or therapy available to fully fix a congenital, idiopathic scoliotic curve (which is the case below, and a severe case at that). The difference between a mild dextroscoliosis and the congenital idiopathic scoliosis is the difference between a rash and full-blown psoriasis.
