Dr. Luis Taylor answered

Specializes in Pulmonology

Scoliosis can be: mild, moderate or severe. Spine xrays should be ordered by a back specialist. Then treatment and options will be discussed. For moderate to severe cases, a corrective brace can be used. Physical therapy is also an important part of improving symptoms.
