A member asked:
What can i do for mild scoliosis i had a x-ray and was told this is what i have. pain is unbearable what is the best option to help?

Treat the pain: It is likely the "mild scoliosis" is a reaction to your back pain not the cause. Peoples spine will usually curve toward the side of pain regardless of cause. Whether you do anti-inflammatories, heat/cold alternation or other treatments the curve should subside as the pain fades.
