A member asked:
I'm 17 and i have a mild levoscoliosis of the thoracic spine. does it affect my growth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Scoliosis: Mild scoliosis implies 30 degree or less curve. That is not likely to cause pain in the future. It will not affect growth as you are done with spinal growth at age 17. So with that info, no worries.
