It depends on the severity, but going to a chiropractor can usually help
Usually yes it is. Depending on the severity of the curvature, she may not have any symptoms. Physical Therapy is a great option to help with future progression of scoliosis.
Scoliosis is a condition that needs to be taken care of and maintained usually for life. Scoliosis can be corrected with the proper care and depending on the severity of it. It's always better to start care earlier to address the condition to give the body a better chance of healing.
It is a progressive, life-long condition which can be controlled
Unfortunately yes
It can be.
