How do you treat a 22 year old with a curved scoliosis or would you not do anything?

Depends: The treatment of scoliosis first requires a thorough evaluation and special x-rays. Treatment options range from simple back bracing to complex surgical treatments. The treatment type depends upon the degree of the spinal curvature and the severity of symptoms.

Depends: It depends on how "bad" the curve is ...You require an x-ray to really assess the severity of your curve...So see your orthopaedic spine specialist.
