A member asked:

Is that helpful to hike or walk a few miles for someone with scoliosis of 50 degree?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Scoliosis : Walking and hiking are always excellent options for exercise. If the walking aggravates the back pain then a low impact exercise like a recumbent bicycle may be a better option. Discuss the best exercise strategies with your spine surgeon.
