A doctor has provided 1 answer

Annual exam: This is one issue you can review at your annual checkup. The most worrisome issues for scoliosis involve the degree of twisting that could reduce your lung capacity and predispose you to illness. Once your growth centers have closed the vulnerable period subsides and you reach a rather fixed defect. Your slouching may or may not aggravate the process but you can work to improve posture and help.
