Suggest Treatment For Scoliosis
I was diagnosed with scoliosis when i was in middle school. I am now 23. I have days when my back hurts all day. I work as a nursing assistant. I have a back brace that i bought. Its not a medical brace just a ordinary brace. Do i need to follow up and have it rechecked since its been a while since a doctor last looked at my back.

Dear- thanks for using our service and will give you my medical advise. It is important to have a follow up of your scoliosis with an orthopedic. This is a condition that can get worse and give you more symptoms as you get older. You nee a medical brace, one that has been made for your specific measurements and support. This is something that will avoid to get worse and will relieve the pain.
I hope that my advise has been helpful
