Scoliosis tools are treatments, methods, and other resources that someone with a curve can utilize to improve their own care. With a combination of techniques and treatments supported by science and medical research, it is possible to straighten a spine like never before and reduce a curve in ways that were only possible with surgery in the past.
However, a tool is only something to use, and it must be used correctly to ensure the best possible result.
