See an osteopath: This is the best time to get a spinal evaluation so your scoliosis can be monitored, and evaluated. So it's not progressing further. Depending where the scoliosis is, can impact your shoulders. Don't delay! you may find relief i getting omt (osteopathic medical treatment) done. It's covered by your insurance!
