Scoliosis and Postural Correction Woburn, MA
Adult Scoliosis Has a Path Forward.
Specialized care to manage pain, halt curve progression, and improve your quality of life.
Living With Scoliosis Is Hard. Getting Help Should Not Be.
Adult scoliosis affects how you move, how you feel, and how you live every day.
For many adults, a scoliosis diagnosis brings more questions than answers. Will the curve continue to worsen? Is pain management all that is left? Can anything actually help? The answer is yes, there is hope. Dr. Moramarco and team specialize in the non-surgical management of adult scoliosis, degenerative scoliosis, and kyphosis, using a structured, evidence-informed approach designed specifically for the adult spine.
Our treatment goals go beyond pain relief. We work to stop further curve progression, restore postural alignment, and give you the tools to maintain your structural health for the long term.
Spinal Conditions We Treat for Adult Patients
Understanding your diagnosis is the first step toward meaningful care.
Adult Scoliosis
A lateral curvature of the spine that does not resolve on its own. For adults, the primary concerns are managing pain, preventing further curve progression, improving postural asymmetries, and preserving mobility and function in daily life.
Degenerative Scoliosis
A form of scoliosis that develops in adulthood as the intervertebral discs and facet joints wear down over time. It requires a treatment approach tailored to the aging spine, distinct from adolescent-onset scoliosis.
Kyphosis
An exaggerated forward rounding of the upper back that can develop through postural habits or structural causes. Treatment focuses on reducing the curve, managing pain, and postural awareness to prevent progression.
The Schroth Method
A Technique Built for the Way Scoliosis Actually Works
Standard physical therapy is designed for a symmetrical spine. The Schroth Method is different.
Developed specifically for scoliosis and kyphosis, the Schroth Method addresses the three dimensional nature of spinal curvature, targeting the vertebral rotation that conventional approaches often overlook. Through specialized breathing patterns and targeted postural exercises, it improves spinal alignment, corrects rotation, and builds the muscular support the spine needs to resist further progression. Dr. Moramarco and his team use it as the cornerstone of every scoliosis treatment offered, and as the foundation of their three dimensional bracing approach.
Care is efficient, compassionate, and built to give patients lifetime scoliosis management skills. That approach draws patients from across the Boston metro area and New England, from more than 40 states, and from Europe, South America, and Australia.
Published Author for the Schroth Method
As the first US practitioner trained and certified at the Asklepios Katharina Schroth Clinic, July 2007, Dr. Moramarco has gone on to co-author several research papers and and two books on the conservative treatment of scoliosis.

Adult Bracing for Scoliosis
Many adults, young and old, choose bracing for scoliosis with our 3DC Brace™, a 3D Chêneau-style brace. Some of the reasons adults choose spinal bracing include pain relief, improved posture, better balance and spinal support. Unlike adolescents, adults choosing our custom-designed brace decide when to wear it, and for how many hours per day. Dr. Moramarco and team will guide you on a wear schedule based on your specific needs.
Adults with scoliosis should not expect in-brace corrections to the extent expected in children and teens because adult spines are generally more rigid.
These lateral x-rays, taken 10 months apart, show the dramatic postural improvement an 80 year old patient achieved after fusion surgery for a severe lumbar curve, through part time brace wear and a custom at home Schroth program.
This young adult male was experiencing pain as a result of his lumbar scoliosis. He achieved an excellent in-brace correction and reduced pain after being fitted with his 3DC Brace™.

Common Questions About Adult Scoliosis Treatment
Both, depending on your goals. While scoliosis in adults typically cannot be fully corrected without surgery, conservative chiropractic care using the Schroth Method can meaningfully reduce pain, stabilize the Cobb angle, and improve posture and quality of life without surgical intervention.
The Schroth Method is designed specifically for the three-dimensional nature of scoliosis and kyphosis. It addresses vertebral rotation and asymmetric muscle patterns that standard physical therapy does not typically target, making it significantly more effective for spinal curve management.
Bracing may be recommended as part of a comprehensive treatment plan depending on your specific curve and condition. Dr. Moramarco will evaluate your situation and outline all appropriate options during your consultation.
Changes in your Cobb angle measurement, increasing pain, or visible postural shifts can all indicate curve progression. Regular evaluation and monitoring at Moramarco Chiropractic helps you stay ahead of progression and adjust your care plan accordingly.
Treatment timelines vary based on the severity of your curve, your symptoms, and your specific goals. After a thorough evaluation, Dr. Moramarco will provide a clear, realistic assessment of what to expect and how to measure your progress.
