Acupuncture can relieve the symptoms of difficult back pain caused by thoracic scoliosis, but it cannot change the thoracic scoliosis; orthopedics can reset the misaligned thoracic vertebrae, but the thoracic vertebrae will still revert back to the pre-treatment level after treatment if the triggers that induced the thoracic scoliosis are not eliminated after the treatment, such as sitting posture. Thoracic scoliosis may be caused by maintaining incorrect posture for a long period of time, resulting in different muscle development on both sides of the thoracic spine, imbalance of muscle strength on both sides of the body, and may even lead to pelvic tilt. When the angle of thoracic scoliosis is small, it can be corrected by correcting sleeping or sitting posture, physical therapy traction, and doing pull-ups. When the thoracic spine has a large angle of scoliosis, it must be corrected with an external fixator. It is recommended that patients choose the appropriate way of correction under the guidance of the doctor.
