Scoliosis: Typically mild scoliosis will not interfere with sports including gymnastics. Check with your doctor, it also depends on if the scoliosis is progressing or stable.

Yes: At age 17, you have finished growing. The curve should be stable. The best thing to do is stay in shape with strong core muscles . Gymnastics is a good way to do that.
