See a specialist: you need to see a specialist in scoliosis,that have an experience in reconstruction,or congenital spine problem.in the USA we have charity organisation like the SHRINE they take care of children with bone problems.in Italy see a spine orthopedic doctor,the options are either conservative treatment with a brace and physical therapy,or invasive surgery where they use hard rods to correct the problem
