The treatment for scoliosis is entirely dependent on whether the patient has functional or structural scoliosis. This can only be determined via X-ray analysis. Once the type and severity of the scoliosis is identified, then treatment plans can be developed. For most minimal, functional-type scoliosis cases, routine chiropractic care along with therapeutic exercises can minimize patient discomfort from the condition and can even, in some cases, correct the curvature over time. More serious cases can also benefit from chiropractic care, but more patient information would be ended to make those clinical decisions.

Greetings,
I'm glad you're thinking about adjustments as a means to help with back pain, but also as preventative care for future bio-mechanical issues. Unfortunately, without a through medical history and examination of your spine, it is impossible to tell you exactly how many adjustments you would need to receive to treat your presenting symptoms or to have administered
as maintenance care. With that being said, scheduling an initial consultation appointment with a chiropractor would provide the information needed to accurately formulate the right treatment plan for you.
I hope this helps point you in the right direction to having your question answered!
