Please help docs! is scoliosis considered a disability?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Most people with scoliosis have only a mild curvature which does not cause any problems, so they can live completely normal lives. So unless you have a very severe scoliosis that requires surgery (even then, the patients are not necessarily disabled), the answer to this question is no.
