Hello,
If the angle of scoliosis is advanced (generally more than 42 degrees), surgical correction of scoliosis is indicated, since you are experiencing significant symptoms. Physical therapy and exercises designated for scoliosis improvement may give you some degree of relief. Discuss these issues with a spine specialist.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
