Chiropractic rehabilitation for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: end-of-growth and skeletal maturity results
The aim of this study was to evaluate the radiographic outcomes obtained in a sample of patients treated with a chiropractic scoliosis-specific exercise program for patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. Patients were treated and subsequently followed through skeletal maturity, and their res...
