Shouldn't be painful: Scoliosis in a young population typically is not painful. However if you have adult degenerative scoliosis, and that may be painful. Either way, you should see an orthopedic spinal specialist.

Look for other cause: Generally, acoliosis is a painless condtion. Sometimes a disc herniation will cause a spasmodic scoliosis as can a spinal infection. Sometimes a scoliosis involving the lower back in older individuals will alter the biomechanics affecting degenerative changes. There is also a higher incidence of a spondylolithesis in the lower back with concurrent scoliosis diagnosis.
