At Hartley Chiropractic we find that the sooner a scoliosis can begin can begin correction the better the results will be. It is never to late to start and it is never to early. Medical standards of care dictate ”observation only” until a curve reaches 20-25 degrees some form of brace is generally recommended. If you have reached or are nearing a 40-50 degree curve it is likely that surgery has been discussed with you and /or recommended.
