What Is The Permanent Solution For Two Twisted Vertebrae?

My boyfriend has two twisted vertebrae in his back and is nervous it will stop him from going into the coast guard, he goes to the chiropractor once a month to get them put back in place temporarily but I want it to be fixed permanently, what are his options?

hello. is this twisted vertebrae confirmed by CT scan and an MRI besides an x-ray of the said area? You might need to seek consult with an orthopedic or neurosurgeon spine surgeon. If he has no back pain or any problems doing the physical tests that he will go through maybe he might get in. But I think it would be better to seek the above specialists for a better picture of his situation.
