A good chiropractic technique for scoliosis is Chiropractic Biophysics - CBP, which combines adjustments, traction, and exercise to correct spinal misalignment. The adjustments remove subluxations and allow the nerves to conduct impulses properly. The traction works to correct the curve, or at least prevent it from getting worse, and the exercises strengthen the ligaments so they can support the new posture. Since CBP is a technique that aims to make relatively drastic changes to spinal column but in a gradual, safe way, your chiropractor will probably want to see you 3 times a week for 8-10 weeks.
But no doctor can guarantee a cure. It also sounds like your headaches and neck pain could be caused by pinched nerves in your neck region, in which case a chiropractor could also help. No matter what you decide to do, I wish you luck!

Are there other ways to treat scoliosis?
Some people have tried other ways to treat scoliosis, including manipulation by a chiropractor, electrical stimulation, dietary supplements, and corrective exercises. So far, studies of these treatments have not been shown to either prevent or aggravate curve progression. Studies have also shown that exercise alone will not stop progressive curves. However, patients may still wish to exercise for the beneficial effects on their general health and well being.

Chiropractors are great - but they cannot cure scoliosis. They can cure a lot of the symptoms you're talking about though - headaches, nausea and dizziness for example. A good chiro will tell you up front what to expect and will not promise miracles.

The symptoms of scoliosis are:
Prominent shoulder blade--due to rotational deformity of the spine.
Muscle mass that causes a "hump" on one side of the spine
A rib "hump"
Uneven hip and shoulder levels
Asymmetric size or location of breast in females
Unequal distance between arms and body
Clothes that do not "hang right"
i'm not quite sure if there is actually a "cure" for it. i have scoliosis and i had two rods surgically placed on each side of my spine.
you should probably see a doctor because every person is different and there could be a treatment that is just right for you.
not sure about the dizziness and heaches, though.
good luck and hope everything works out!

Scoliosis can be treated by a chiropractor if it is diagnosed very early. Headaches, dizziness and neck pain sounds like you could have a pinched nerve in your neck, or one of your vertebra is out of alignment, I would see your general Doctor about it and see if he recommends you to a specialist

They don't cure anything. Except maybe curing you having extra money to spend on visit after visit for months. Be smart and have a doctor recommend you to a chiropractor if he thinks it will help. They can help or they can injure you. A chiropractor mis-treated a cervical spine injury I had and I ended up getting 2 operations and being disabled for life partial thanks to a chiropractor

Scoliosis MAY be at least be partially correctable from an orthopedic standpoint early in childhood. However, the condition is permanent once bone and joint development have reached maturity. There are multiple therapeutic measures useful for treating symptoms, but the underlying condition would not be correctable in adulthood.

Scoliosis has different stages of the disease. Russian massage has treatments that address it with very good results. In conjunction with chiropractic it can be of much relief. Yoga exercise in lieu of physical therapy are also to be considered. The toughest part would be finding someone who is trained in the Russian system. Dr Ross describes it in his book http://aesculapbooks.com/tabofcon.html, also Zhenya Kurashova has a wonderful practice. kurashova.com, you might be able to find someone who was trained under her? Where are you located? Best of Health
