We provide concrete scoliosis treatment results for our patients. By re-examining range of motion, re-assessing lung function, taking updated posture pictures, and by using X-rays of the specific area of the scoliosis, I hold myself accountable to my patients. Scoliosis treatment results are based on all these things, along with concrete evidence of improved quality of life (reduced or eliminated pain).
Before and After
A typical result will yield 25-35% reduction in Cobb angle. Some patients will do better, some less well. A further program of intensive treatment (3 months later) will further improve the Cobb angles in many cases. The patient is expected to maintain home treatment until completion of growth, typically around age 17. Ongoing care is case specific and will be discussed at the completion of each intensive program of care.
These results are extremely amazing. I’ve been suffering from scoliosis for about 4 or 5 years. Mine came out of nowhere it happened so quickly. I don’t have any pain from it but sometimes when I lay on my back my left rib sticks out so much further and if you look at me from the behind it looks like I have one huge left hip and right hip. And because I’m so skinny it’s easier to notice. I’m basically self conscience about it. It’s at an angle of 27 degrees I believe. I was wondering if your treatment could help me straighten my spine back to the way it was. Please e-mail me back! Thank you.
It is very rare for a curve to be completely straightened. I do see it, but only in a young patient… here I am talking about 7-9 years old, and even then very rarely. the more realistic expectation is to see a 15-25% reduction in curves after my exercise based program of care.

We live on the other side of the US from you. Are there exercises that you can recommend in addition to the chiropractic care my daughter seeks to help?
Of course there are, but I can’t provide any advice without examining X-rays and evaluating you physically!
I’ve had scoliosis very long. my curve is 36 degrees I think if it has not increased and I feel so much pain. I’ve used the brace in one and half years and it has not done any good. the first time we discovered scoliosis it was 35 degrees and I waited 6 months before I get atappointment at the hospital and scoliosis my went to 44 degrees and they gave me one a brace that I may use in one and half years and after that I could not use the brace because it was too small and I waited for another monthes. then i came to the hospital after a few months and my scoliosis was 36 degrees and they said that they were not anything to do with me and that my back was stable and that it will not increase any more since I am 17 years now. but I’m sure it has increased since, I’ve got even bigger pain.
I live in Norway and want to get better , but I wonder how much the program costs and since i live very far away ??
