Idiopathic scoliosis usually does not correct itself. It happens in girls more often than in boys and there's no known reason why it happens.

People with scoliosis should get regular spinal manipulation because with the curvature, it will cause a twisting in the spine, which locks up the mobility of the facet joints in the spine. READ MORE
