Default Yes scoliosis can heal!

Ask a NS and they will say thing like "scoliosis can not heal" bone spurs do not disapear" "Disks can't grow back" "a herneated disk can not heal without surgery".

These things are just not true. What you need is a good dedicated physical therapist or if you cannot afford one a very good massage therapist can do the job. First you need a postural analisis. Right off the bat I can tell you if you have a leftward curve in your spine your right hip is probably elevated which would make your right leg shorter than your left and your roght shoulder is probally lower than your left. If that is the case (which it usually is for a leftward scoliatic curve) your right quadratus lumborum is tight a long with a bunch of other muscles on the right side of your troso therefore is what you need to do to compensate is;

1) Stand up straight
2) Cross right leg over left leg
3) Extend arms over head
4) Bend to the left
5) Feel the strech
6) hold the strech for 2 minutes each day (2 minutes is the time it takes for the tendons to relax)

Good luck
