Understanding the condition
Scoliosis is a condition characterised by an abnormal lateral curvature of the spine. It can range from mild to severe and may be accompanied by rotation of the vertebrae. Scoliosis can develop in childhood (adolescent idiopathic scoliosis), in adults as a result of spinal degeneration, or occasionally from other causes. Not all scoliosis causes pain or functional limitation, but many individuals seek assessment and management for comfort and long-term spinal health.
- Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (most common)
- Degenerative scoliosis (adult onset)
- Uneven shoulder or hip height
- Back pain associated with the spinal curve
- Postural changes related to spinal curvature
How chiropractic care may help
Chiropractic care does not reverse structural scoliosis, but it can help manage the symptoms associated with it. Our approach includes a thorough assessment of your spinal curves, postural analysis, and X-ray assessment where clinically indicated. We aim to optimise spinal function, reduce associated muscle tension and pain, and help you maintain the best possible quality of life.
- Comprehensive postural and spinal assessment
- X-ray analysis of spinal curvature where appropriate
- Targeted adjustments to improve spinal mobility
- Soft tissue therapy for compensatory muscle tension
- Exercise and lifestyle advice for long-term management
- Monitoring and progress assessments over time

Frequently asked questions
Can chiropractic straighten a scoliotic spine?
Chiropractic care cannot structurally straighten a scoliotic spine. It can, however, help manage associated pain, improve mobility, and support overall spinal function.
At what age should scoliosis be assessed?
Scoliosis can present at any age, but adolescent idiopathic scoliosis typically appears during growth spurts. Early assessment is beneficial to monitor progression and identify any management needs.
Will I need X-rays for a scoliosis assessment?
X-ray imaging is often useful for accurately assessing the degree of curvature. Where clinically indicated, we will refer you for appropriate imaging.
