Unlikely: In contrast, Scoliosis (spinal curvature) found in early adolescent age often progresses. By the way, CT scanning is not a good diagnostic tool for scoliosis.

Spine "condition": At 32, it has probably gotten as bad as it will get. The prevent worsening in older years, do yoga and spinal strengthening. Swimming is good too. I doubt it is giving you any pain. If it is, follow the activity and rehab instructions in this response. Thanks.
