“How do you adjust someone with scoliosis?”

Hands on and maybe some adjusting instruments. An exam and xrays would be recommended

Typically this depends on the location of scoliosis, degree and muscle tissue. Once these are addressed, their is a variety of ways you can adjust someone with scoliosis.

Chiropractors often treat patients with lower back pain, including cases where a bulging disc is involved. However, the effectiveness of chiropractic care for a bulging disc can vary from person to person, and it's important to consider a couple key points:

Chiropractic Techniques: Chiropractors use various techniques to address lower back issues, which may include spinal adjustments, stretching exercises, and other therapies. The goal is to alleviate pain, improve mobility, and support the body's natural healing processes.

Individual Variation: The effectiveness of chiropractic care for a bulging disc can vary depending on the severity of the condition, the specific techniques used, and the individual's response to treatment. Many people find relief and improved function with chiropractic care.

The adjustments are the same. The physician will use palpation to determine the levels of misalignment and/or fixation and muscular imbalances. Adjustments are then used to restore more normal position, motion and muscular balance to the affected areas. This type of treatment is very beneficial for patients with scoliosis.
