    Do we adjust someone with scoliosis differently?

    Do we adjust someone with scoliosis differently?
    Patients often ask us if we adjust patients with scoliosis differently. The short answer is no.
     
    Patients with scoliosis receive adjustments in the same manner that someone with a neck, mid-back or low back problem would. The adjustments are not treating the scoliosis, but rather the subluxations in the spine. Check out this episode where we discuss the different care options that we use to help manage scoliosis in patients of all ages.
