If you have any idea that you or someone you know has Scoliosis then the first stop should be the Dr so they can carry out an x-ray or the Adam's Forward Bend Test to determine the extent of the curve

Do Chiropractors treat idiopathic scoliosis?

Doctors of chiropractic would certainly be willing and qualified to examine someone with scoliosis, and there are indeed strategies that can be employed to potentially slow or halt the progression of idiopathic scoliosis. A chiropractor will be able to determine how severe the scoliosis is, how often it needs to be monitored, at what stage a surgical referral is required, and what kinds of options exist for treatment. In some cases, a chiropractor may even be able to help reverse a scoliosis without surgery. For example, if you have a functional scoliosis (caused by unequal leg lengths, unilateral muscle trauma, unilateral hip problem, etc.), then if you are not too old (younger than 55) and the curve is not too severe (less than 30 degrees), a chiropractor will likely be able to help reduce or eliminate the scoliosis. Treatments would include one or more of: orthotics, spinal manipulation, stretching, muscle strengthening, etc.
