Other Scoliosis Treatments

Some people have tried other ways to treat scoliosis, including manipulation by a chiropractor, electrical stimulation, dietary supplements, and corrective exercises. So far, studies of the following treatments have not been shown to prevent curve progression, or worsening:

• Chiropractic manipulation
  
  
• Electrical stimulation
  
  
• Nutritional supplementation
  
  
• Exercise--Studies have shown that exercise alone will not stop progressive curves. However, patients may wish to exercise for the effects on their general health and well-being.
