There is a significant role in improving quality of life and slowing/halting progression of degenerative changes.

Here is one study relevant study (there are others)…

my daughter has 49 degree of curv, and she is 14 years old. she hasn’t pain and she has been doing fisiotherapy since 8 mpnths. I found a possibility to try acupuncture and I wonder if it could help to reduce her curv.
