“Systematic reviews of controlled clinical studies of treatments used by chiropractors have found no evidence that chiropractic manipulation is effective, with the possible exception of treatment for back pain.[8] A 2011 critical evaluation of 45 systematic reviews concluded that the data included in the study “fail[ed] to demonstrate convincingly that spinal manipulation is an effective intervention for any condition.”[10] Spinal manipulation may be cost-effective for sub-acute or chronic low back pain, but the results for acute low back pain were insufficient.[11] No compelling evidence exists to indicate that maintenance chiropractic care adequately prevents symptoms or diseases.[12]”

    I do have scoliosis, but issues were purely with muscles.

    Well, I’m not sure how that’s called, like stretching neck muscles, doing different exercises with elastic rope that loads neck and spine, and such. It seems to be different complex with every other practitioner that’s teaching what to do, but what worked best for me is standing on elastic rope holding it in both hands and lifting hands to T-pose (not an advice, consult a medic insted)
