Thanks for the query. Scoiliosis curve is in the upper back or lower back? hip pain...... does it worsen when you move your hip in and out? if its a buttock pain then it could be due to nerve pinching. Shoulder pain not related to hip or low back. However neck problem can give rise to shoulder pain. Initial treatment is pain medicine and physiotherapy. need to see your Xray. do you have a compensatory scoliosis curve? Need complete work up like Xray and mri of the spine. Need to establish the pain generator before doing any intervention. if possible get back with above information to tell you more about pain source. Thanks.

Hello: I suggest that you first check with your general care provider for an exam, your physician should conduct a thorough exam and probably order an ultrasound or x-rays. If he gives you a prognosis of a muscular or spinal condition, I suggest that you discuss with your physician the option of referring to a chiropractor, physical therapist or even a licensed massage therapist. A chiropractor and physical therapist can work with you in your underlying area of your scoliosis. Seeking a pain management physician may be an option, if you want to go that route? Be well, feel better.
