A member asked:
I was diagnosed with scoliosis, what should i do now?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Be seen: You should see an orthopedic surgeon trained in treating scoliosis. The majority of cases of scoliosis are mild and do not require treatment, but severe cases do require treatment, even surgery to prevent problems in the future. It is good to get an opinion just to make sure you do not have problems in the future. Thank you for your question.
