A member asked:
What to do if i have a very good friend and she is 11 years and she has scoliosis !?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hard to say: This is relatively common and varies in intensity from very mild to very worrisome.Try to be a friend. It is not contagious. Your friend may have x-rays done several times over the next few years and the problem could remain the same or worsen. Some need braces which may or may not need to be worn all the time.
