I would see an orthopedic surgeon for consult to discuss the best treatment options available. Good luck!
Yes.
You will not correct it but can maintain flexibility and strength.

Definitely! And daily stretching and exercise with some Chiropractic also help depends on how severe the case is ! Imaging assists with treatment modification! Massage therapy as well!
Scoliosis is a life long condition - it cannot be corrected. However, physical therapy is the way to go to manage your symptoms and prevent it from becoming worse.
