A member asked:
I was diagnosed with scoliosis 2 days ago the doctor says its 3 degree curve ...could this be really it i have a back ache now and again..he sent me to a physical therapist?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely the cause: Scoliosis curves of less than 10 degrees rarely if ever cause symptoms in anyone. They are commonly found on an x-ray taken for an unrelated reason. Backaches usually originate in the muscle groups involved. Physical therapy is the standard treatment.
