A member asked:
Is it possible to treat scoliosis later on in life? was diagnosed as a child. what are the possible treatments available?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe/not: The posted information provides little data to work with. The majority of scoliosis is more a cosmetic issue than functional, stabilizes by the early 20's & neither requires or responds to any treatments. Bracing during the teens can limit final defect & major defects over 40% may be treated surgically. If you provide more information about the issue a more specific response can be formulated.
