What can i do if i have scoliosis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Have it evaluated: There are different types of back braces that may be of benefit. Each have their specific indications. Have your back evaluated by a professional and get a prescription for an appropriate brace for your specific condition. Often time they may need to be custom made. Some may need surgical management.
