Scoliosis / pain: That's a very broad question... Happy to answer details, but all of these 'questions' need their own explanation. Often they are connected, as scoliosis and imbalance can cause muscle spasms where the body tries to keep everything in line, while the spine undergoes a three-dimensional deformity over time. Osteoarthritis can effect the spine at all levels+contribute to pain and worsening deformity.

Depends: This depends on your symptoms from these problems and your physical exam and films. Most can be treated with therapy, but really depends on the factors listed above. Good luck!
