I have just been diagnosed with curvature of the spine. help? is this serious?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Scoliosis: This all depends on the severity of your curve. Scoliosis is not necessarily associated with more pain than 'background' backpain in society. A staggering 80% of people will have at least one episode of backpan in their lives. Deformity or not. If you are concerned, go see a good spine doctor who can evaluate and determine the severity and type of scoliosis. Stay fit and flexible and walk a good deal! thx!
