Hi,
Physiatrists can help with scoliosis. If it is severe scoliosis I would recommend seeing a pediatric physiatrist. If it is mild, you can see anyone, including me. The most important thing would be physical therapy and X-rays yearly to monitor and make sure it isn’t getting worse.

Yes. Some exercise can help. Please schedule an appointment to see a physician first.

They might be able to help. It is possible that you might need to see an orthopedist as well.
Unfortunately you need to begin to think of how best to manage the scoliosis as there is no cure. A physiatrist can help you manage the problem.
