Varies: From a structural perspective, the options are either to live with it or consider correction if it severe enough. From the perspective of your pain, it is helpful to do more testing to see a more specific cause. People with scheuermanns may have a disc herniation or other more localized problems that may be amenable to other interventions such as an esi, or rf. An MRI will give more info.
