According to this reference: Chiropractic
treatment may relieve pain, but it cannot halt scoliosis development, and
should not be a substitute for conventional treatment of progressing scoliosis.
Untreated severe scoliosis often leads to
spondylosis, and may impair breathing. Degenerative arthritis of the spine,
sciatica
, and
severe physical deformities can also result if severe scoliosis is left untreated. Finally, scoliosis can also poorly affect the
individual's self-esteem and cause serious emotional problems.
At this point, a customized back brace or even surgery may be necessary to deal with this.
You (or whoever has the scoliosis) needs to see an orthopedic doctor
(M.D.) as soon as possible. Scoliosis will not stop or get better
on its own.
