There seems finally to be a good alternative treatment. Physical therapists have been successfully treating scoliosis in Germany for years and now there are now some therapists in the US who practice this method. It is based on the concept that scoliosis is usually due to an imbalance of your back muscles (stronger on one side of each of the three major back regions--lumbar, thoracic, and cervical) and that we have to strengthen the weak muscles and make the strong ones more elastic. Not hocus-pocus at all.
