I suffer from minor scoliosis at 14, so will my back ever be straight again?!


Question: I suffer from minor scoliosis at 14, so will my back ever be straight again?
I got it from being sensitive about my body, and was an idiot to think slouching would hide it, so now, my back is slightly curved (a person would noticed if they attempted to notice) and I want my back straight again like normal teenage guys. I don't really want a brace, and I stand up straight most of the time. Will it always be like this?

-Thanks

Answers:

I have scoliosis and im also 14. You cant get it from falling or slouching you just normally have it. It's a slight curve to your spine. But its really important to know what degree your curve is. Get x rays for your back and go to a orthopedic doctor. I have a 18-23 degree curve and i wear a plastic brace that was molded for my back every night. Scoliosis is actually pretty serious so dont mess around with it. Just go to an orthopedic so it doesnt end up getting worse and worse. because if it does... you could have to have surgery if it gets to a 50 degree curve. Hope this helps!



I am not a medical expert but I an sure that that through exercise and stretching, you should be able to straighten it. Yoga exercises help too.
Get some exercises/stretches from an expert and work at it every day. Most things like that can be overcome as long as you work at it regularly.
