i did see a doctor during my highskul years wen i discovered that i have this (when i accidentally read it in a medical buk). They told me to wear a brace but it costs no less than 10k and wud u lyk to wear it around d campus and be a headturner?..so i engaged in physical therapy sessions and do some kinda' weird exercises but cant bear it ..i stop after 3 months. What really disapoint me now is they say that braces and physical therapy would just prevent ur scoliosis from curving more and it will not straighten it up again..Surgical operation can probably straighten the spine but it will cost u dollars..busa magpuyo nlg ta!
