A member asked:
I have mild levoscoliosis of the thoracolumbar spine, l5-s1. how to treat this. thank you?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Scoliosis treatment: Levoscoliosis implies that you have a curvature of your spine that points to your left. The l5-s1 disc is often associated with a compensatory fractional curve. Typically, treatment tends to be conservative - pt, medications, and on occasion, spinal injections. Bracing is typically reserved for children with scoliosis who are still growing. Surgery is reserved for only severe cases of scoliosis.
