If it is of biomechanical origin, he will treat it and avoid habitual relapses in your daily life. When acquiring bad postures, for instance, sitting next to the computer or when using your mobile phone, your chiropractor will detect and correct any dysfunction, delaying the aging of the spine, which will be faster in the presence of kyphoscoliosis. In the event that the problem is not of mechanical origin, he will direct you to the specialist that is the most pertinent for your specific case.
