hi,
scoliosis can be managed conservatively or by surgically .
there are many factors which decided the mode of treatment out which 3 most imp are severity of the curve, risk of progression of the curve over the period of time i.e. progressive or non progressive curves.and the pulmonary status of the patient.
all these factors can evaluated after properclinical examination and investigation.
hence kindly consult spine surgeon
