Reports are to be made on the results of manual treatments upon ten cases of scoliosis, two of which showed the maximum Cobb angle of 23°.
Manual treatments have proved to be superior to conservative therapies such as tractions, exercises, braces and plaster-casts, from the real proofs of curing so faster during comparatively short time in growing ages (from 8 to 18 years of ages).
The successful results in four adults with manual treatments on therapy have proved to be available upon adults.
Two eminent aspects can be seen on the clients; one is the stiffened muscles on the depressed side, and the other is the rotation of the vertebrae.
Upon these two aspects, manual treatments have worked most positively, on which in detail my paper is presented.
