I don't have scoliosis but I do have a birth defect in my lower spine that causes a disk to slip.
When it slipped out two years ago, my doctor sent me for physical therapy. There was no manipulation of the spine, just exercises to strengthen the back muscles and make the disk slip back into place.
This spring it slipped again and my friend recommended a chiropractor. Now I go every two weeks. In addition to my back, he manipulates my neck (it goes forward due to poor posture in front of the computer), checks my arms and hands and massages my sinuses. If I skip a week, I'm a physical mess.
I was one of those "those people are quacks", but I'm a total convert now.
I hope you can find a way to go and get everything fixed-is there a way to make a payment plan?
