A member asked:

Could scoliosis possibly end my baseball career? please help me docs!

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: Scoliosis, if severe enough, may limit your range of motion of your spine and thus limit your baseball career. However, you are 44 years old, i'd say your baseball career is about over anyways.

Dr Minich and another doctor agreed
