Chiropractic manipulation has worked to improve the scoliotic curve when caught early. That's why it is important to have the children X-rayed during the puberty years before their growth spurt. People with scoliosis should get regular spinal manipulation because with the curvature, it will cause a twisting in the spine, which locks up the mobility of the facet joints in the spine.
