Questions patients ask
Can chiropractic straighten scoliosis?
Chiropractic care does not reverse a structural curve. It can reduce pain, improve mobility and function, and support exercise-based programs. Growing teens with progressing curves are co-managed with an orthopedic specialist.
How long does posture take to change?
Stiffness can improve within weeks; lasting change in how you hold yourself takes consistent exercise over a few months.
Is a standing desk enough?
Any position held for hours strains the body. Changing positions often and strengthening the postural muscles matter more than the desk itself.
Can I be treated in Korean?
Yes. Dr. Lee sees patients in Korean and English.
