Mild scoliosis curve: In the thoracic spine diagnosed as idiopathic usually do not progress after skeletal maturity or when growth ceases. Staying in shape with exercise offers health benefits and minimizes chance of lower back problems while taking calcium and vitamin d helps to minimize risk of bone density loss as you age. As scoliosis has a genetic component, if you have children, make sure their doctor checks.
