A member asked:
What to do if i have scoliosis and a prominent back. is there anything that can correct or remove my back ribs?

Ask orthopedic dr: Most scoliosis is treated in adolescence when curve is more flexible.. Once skeletal maturity or growth is completed, a patient with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is now said to have adult idiopathic scoliosis. The distinction is important for while a patient with adult Idiopathic Scoliosis may still need treatment for progression, pain is much more common indication for treatment.
