Unfortunately scoliosis can’t be fixed unless the angles are extreme then surgery is required with a Harrington rod.
That depends on how big of curve you have. It can either be done through chiropractic if you have a smaller curve. If you have a big curve then possibly surgery would be your quickest.

The fastest way to improve scoliosis is a combination of Chiropractic adjustments, stretching certain muscles, strengthening certain muscles, orthotics in the shoes to help balance the hips if necessary and bracing if necessary. An examination with a good chiropractic physician would be necessary to evaluate the curvature and prescribe the proper treatment for the best results. Surgery may be necessary if the curvature is too large. I hope this info is helpful. Take care and be well. Dr. Eric Miller- Orland Park, IL
Every case of scoliosis is different and has to be looked at and treated as its own case. Obviously, there are patterns but not something to just give you advice without more information.
The only way to fix it, is to start young. If you're beyond 12, DCs can work on surrounding muscles and tissues.That can make a big difference.
There is no fast way. This will be a life time of correction and prevention Warm Regards, Elena Morreale, DC, DABCI, DACBN10213 Lake Carroll Way Ste CTampa, FL 33618813-968-5404www.drelenamorreale.com _Email Confidentiality Notice:__ The information contained in this transmission is privileged and confidential and/or protected health information (PHI) that may be subject to protection under the law, including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended (HIPAA).
