A member asked:

Daughter was diagnosed with a 11 degree levoconvex curvature of lower thoracic spine and incomplete closure of s1. is it common to wait to treat 1 yr?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Treatment if any depends on both age and degree of curve. A young pre-teen or teen with this finding might be watched every 3- 6 mo, while someone who has finished growing might not be seen more than once a year.
