Hi there, I had quite serious scoliosis as a kid, and it required surgeries to straighten the curve. Not alarming you, as I just just too far gone when it was diagnosed at 14. I would say though to be v v wary of chiropractors diagnosing scoliosis in kids. Everyone has a small curve of some sort, and only an ortho can give you a true prognosis using xray and scans. Chiros believe they can adequetly treat scoliosis - they can't. It's not mechanically possible, so hold out for an appt with a good ortho for sure. Keep school bags as light as poss. Swimming great to build flexibility. Best of luck.
