What should i do about my moderate scoliosis?

Risk of worsening : Progression depends on several issues: the size of the curve at the time of skeletal maturity as well as the location of the curve &!what type of curve you are talking about. Underlying medical issues can play a role like osteoporosis. This should be evaluated by an orthopedic spine surgeon who can review all these considerations with you. Exercise, avoid smoking & have good calcium/vit d intake.

Varies: It varies somewhat. Scoliosis curves are usually described by a number known as the cobb angle. If a person is skeletally mature and has a curve less than 40 degrees, they usually do not progress and do not usually require treatment. Curves over 45-50 degrees can progress and at a minimum need to be followed. Medical conditions such as osteoporosis should also be checked for. Thank you.

Depends: It will depend on your age and if you have had an evaluation. Scoliosis is a difficult problem and can get more difficult. See a spine surgeon or other specialist with an interest and expertise in scoliosis and get an opinion. Depending on age and condition, you may need bracing or may be a surgical candidate. Hard to know. Get an expert opinion.

Depends on age: Children before a growth spurt are generally braced for moderate scoliosis (cobb angles between 20 and 40). After skeletal maturity, these curves are merely observed. If a curve is non-progressive in adulthood, and doesn't bother the person from a cosmetic perspective, no treatment is necessary.
