Good Diversified Full Spine Chiropractic.
That will reduce the scoliosis, muscle tension and pressure on nerves.
Get a good one of an HMO website.
You can often get short-term pain relief for scoliosis from a chiropractor or massage therapist. I’ve used both. Short-term means a few days to a few weeks.
Long-term or permanent relief requires addressing the real problem of scoliosis, which is muscle imbalances. Some muscles on one side of the scoliotic back are stronger and tighter than the opposing group, alternating sides at three or four levels of the back. Exercise therapy offers the most viable solution, but unfortunately there aren’t many specialists for this outside Germany, and doctors will tell you it doesn’t work. (They are wrong, and can’t prove their case.)
The Schroth method is exercise therapy developed in Germany in the 1920s. There are a couple big German clinics devoted to it. There are a few small Schroth clinics in the US now, started by physical therapists who got specially trained. Even a non-Schroth-trained physiotherapist ought to be able to help you if she/he is smart and specializes in spinal issues. If the first PT doesn’t pan out, or gives you exercises that hurt, drop her and try another.
There was a very good article on Schroth treatment of scoliosis pain published in 1993 but it’s not indexed online. See Sources below.
