Episode 147: Can Chiropractors Treat Scoliosis?

In this episode of Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda, we explore the role of chiropractic care in scoliosis treatment. While traditional chiropractic adjustments can help manage pain and improve function, they are not designed to correct scoliosis. Dr. Nalda explains the differences between general and specialized scoliosis chiropractic care, highlighting the importance of a multi-modal approach that actively reduces the spinal curve rather than just treating symptoms.

If you or a loved one has scoliosis and is considering chiropractic care, this episode will help you understand the right approach to scoliosis treatment and why a specialized program is necessary for long-term improvements.

Key Topics Covered:

✅ What is Scoliosis? – Understanding scoliosis as a three-dimensional spinal condition involving bending, twisting, and structural misalignment.

✅ Can General Chiropractic Care Treat Scoliosis? – Why traditional chiropractic care helps with pain relief but does not stop curve progression.

✅ The Difference Between Traditional and Scoliosis-Specific Chiropractic Care:

• Traditional Care: Low-dose, long-term adjustments focusing on pain relief.
• Scoliosis-Specific Care: High-dose, short-duration treatment (intensive care) aimed at reducing the curve.

✅ What Does Scoliosis-Specific Chiropractic Care Involve?

• Spinal adjustments combined with therapy, rehabilitation, bracing, and exercises.
• A multi-modal approach designed to correct the scoliosis curve, not just manage symptoms.

✅ Why Watching and Waiting is Risky:

• Many orthopedic doctors take a passive approach, recommending observation until surgery becomes necessary.
• Meanwhile, gravity and daily stressors continue to worsen the curve, leading to a more severe condition over time.

✅ The Importance of Proactive Treatment – How early intervention with scoliosis-specific chiropractic care can reduce the curve, restore spinal function, and prevent long-term complications.

Key Takeaways:

➡️ Chiropractic care can be effective for scoliosis—but only when part of a specialized, structured program.
➡️ Traditional chiropractic adjustments alone do not correct scoliosis.
➡️ An intensive, high-dose approach using adjustments, rehabilitation, and therapy can help reduce the scoliosis curve.
➡️ Watching and waiting allows scoliosis to progress, making future treatment more difficult.
