See a spine doctor: Typical scoliosis does not cause pain. You need to see an orthopedic spine specialist for an evaluation.

Keep looking: I am sorry you are going through that. I guess you would need to continue your search until you are satisfied you have found someone to help. Sometimes a primary care doctor will know the reputations of the spine specialists in your area and steer you in the right direction.
