The answer depends on the extent of the scoliosis and if it is functional or structural. A full examination with full spine xrays would be an excellent place to start.
It depends on the severity of the scoliosis and the age of the patient. If intervention happens early enough, and the scoliosis is not too severe, then yes they can. Regardless of age or severity, a chiropractor can, at the very least, help with symptoms caused by scoliosis.
Depending on the severity... ABSOLUTELY! I have seen specific Chiropractors who specialize in "Pettibon" who have done this. They will do a proper evaluation and x-rays to determine the severity of scoliosis and I have seen with my own eyes working with these chiropractors a reduction of scoliosis. However, to each their own. Depends on the patient and their severity once again. Nothing is ever guaranteed.
In certain cases, yes. It's not that simple. Seek out a specialist.
The quick answer is it depends. If they can identify the underlying cause of scoliosis, perhaps it can be treated. A thorough exam must be completed. Many times these conditions can be treated, but they may not always resolve 100%. It's best to seek help from an experienced chiropractor if you think you have scoliosis that is causing you problems.
That depends on the complexity of your curve. If it is a small slight curve it is a possibility. It also depends if it’s a functional curve or if congenital (born this way). I have seen some people where their curve was reduced with chiropractic and some that can only be fixed by surgery. More information is needed for a definite answer for your situation.

Yes, chiropractors are well known for treating scoliotic conditions of varying severity. When seeking chiropractic evaluation, you should expect x-ray imaging to be ordered in order to identify the apex of the scoliosis (the supposed "kink" in the spine) and if there are any joint changes that the chiropractor should take into consideration when prescribing a treatment plan.
Hi, sometimes yes but it depends on the degree of scoliosis cause it takes time to bring back the spine to the optimal alignment. Adjustments in combination with specific posture rehabilitation exercises can help re-align the spine. X-rays review will be needed in order to determine the degree of scoliosis and the proper treatment plan!
