How we approach this at University Physical Medicine
Postural exam plus review of any prior imaging — Cobb angle, curve type, flexibility.
Honest conversation about what conservative care can and can't do (chiropractic doesn't 'fix' scoliosis, but can support comfort and function).
Targeted exercises and adjustments for the segments most affected.
Referral to specialty care when the case warrants bracing or surgical consultation.
Individual results may vary. Our providers will recommend a plan based on your evaluation.
Questions patients ask about this
Can chiropractic care straighten my spine?
No — and any chiropractor who tells you it can is overpromising. What conservative care CAN do is support comfort, function, and mobility while you live with the curve. We're honest about scope.
