Hi,
At this age it will take a little long and might not give 100 percent result but we can practically aim for 70 to 80 percent improvement. Visit a chiropractor and physical therapist near your area and go according to the advice given for a month at least, if you see even a little bit of improvement you need to continue for as long as it gets corrected. If there is no improvement in one month you can visit an orthopedic surgeon and undergo a surgery to correct it.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
