A member asked:
If i have scoliosis, will my body become thin? will there be no more development?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
This is a curious question. Most cases of scoliosis are mild, found in the rapid growth years and have NO IMPACT ON HEALTH. There are a fraction with major curves that require specific treatment. When you post on this site the more detail you provide about your issue (like amount of curve in degrees) the more likely we are to provide answers that are specific to your case.
