Is scoliosis preventable?
Some people will have a slight scoliosis that is completely natural because some vertebrae may not be formed the same as the vertebrae above or below it. It is called a hemivertabrae. It could be due to a mis-alignment in the spine. If this is the case the scoliosis can be corrected or at least from getting worse. Seek out a Gonstead chiropractor. READ MORE
