Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The surgical treatment for levoscoliosis depends on the severity of symptoms. If you have a constant pain and numbness that is not adequately controlled with medicines then surgical treatment may be needed.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
