Common knowledge amoung some professionals (MD and ND):

1. Calcium and Vitamin D: Adequate levels of calcium and vitamin D are crucial for bone health. While they are not specific treatments for scoliosis, maintaining sufficient calcium intake along with adequate vitamin D levels might support bone density and overall skeletal health.

2. Magnesium: Magnesium plays a role in bone formation and muscle function. Some individuals with scoliosis might explore magnesium supplementation, as it contributes to maintaining healthy muscles and bones. However, evidence specifically targeting scoliosis is limited.

3. Vitamin K2: Vitamin K2 is involved in bone metabolism and might contribute to bone health. Some studies suggest that vitamin K2 supplementation might have potential benefits for bone density and strength, but evidence for its impact on scoliosis is limited.

4. Probiotics: While not directly related to scoliosis, maintaining a healthy gut microbiome might indirectly impact overall health and potentially influence nutrient absorption and musculoskeletal health. Some research suggests that probiotics might have a role in improving bone density and metabolism, although specific effects on scoliosis require further investigation.
