A member asked:

What is the treatment for thoracic dextroscoliosis?have backpain including chestpain and difficulty of breathing.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No short answer: Very complex question with multiple factors. Vast majority of thoracic scoliosis less than 45 degrees is non surgical . Shortness of breath from scoliosis is very rare, only with very severe curves of 90 degrees or greater. See your internist to find out why you are really short of breath.
