What Is Scoliosis? Symptoms And Treatment By Sue Doenim Scoliosis, quite simply, is a spine that curves to the right or to the left. Most cases of scoliosis form during childhood and the degree of spine curvature will determine the treatment. Back braces are often recommended for children with scoliosis to strengthen and straighten the spine as the child grows. Adult scoliosis, which either began during childhood or is caused from osteoporosis, disk degeneration or a fracture to the spine, is treated with surgery if the curvature is severe. When scoliosis presents with minimal spine curvature and back pain, exercise is usually the recommended treatment option for adults. A physical therapist or orthopedic surgeon will suggest the proper exercise to help relieve back pain caused from scoliosis, which is usually a swimming exercise.
