Scoliosis is an abnormal curvature of the spine. It is actually natural and healthy for the spine to curve from front to back. This type of curve is only visible when viewed from the side. In many cases, scoliotic curves will not cause pain. In a significant percentage of patients any pain associated with their scoliosis will get worse as they age. Scoliosis treatment is always designed to alleviate pain first (if any pain is present), then stop curve progression, reduce curve size and then stabilize the curve corrections.

Most often Mild Scoliosis may show no noticeable outward signs or symptoms and can go undiagnosed for years. Many of the signs or symptoms of mild scoliosis will involve subtle postural and body symmetry changes. To put it simply, small curves are easier to treat. Research shows that mild curves respond well to scoliosis exercises and in the majority of cases, without the need of scoliosis bracing. To achieve these results, it is imperative to remove the factors that progress a scoliosis before the scoliosis reaches 30 degrees.
