The diagnosis of Scoliosis will also include a standing X-ray which not only evaluates the nature and degree of the spinal curvature, but also provides a study of the equality of leg lengths
The treatment will include osteopathic manipulative treatment to the pelvis and the head, the rib cage, the abdominal wall and the fascial mechanism of the body as well as the area manifesting the spinal curve. If there is an anatomical shortness of one leg a corrective lift might be added to that shoe. In addition to, but not in place of the manipulative treatment some simple exercises may be given to perpetuate the benefit of the treatment.
