Scoliosis: When it comes to scoliosis, a Cobb angle of under 10 is very mild. During your peak growth velocity years after your period started, the curvatures in your spine did not progress to levels that will need surgery. Now that you are fully grown and your growth plates are fused, it should not progress much further. Visit a spine specialist if you need reassurance. Good luck.
