Dr. Alvin Lin answered

Go see ur Family Doc: It's unlikely that mild scoliosis will cause back pain, much less be noticeable to the naked eye. Check out http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/scoliosis/basics/definition/con-20030140 for more info. Therefore, discuss your concerns w/your Family Doc or whoever made diagnosis. And check out http://www.choosingwisely.org/patient-resources/low-back-pain/ for info re low back pain in genera
