Hi, scoliosis can be managed conservatively or by surgically.there are many factors which decided the mode of treatment out which 3 most imps are severity of the curve, risk of progression of the curve over the period of time i.e. progressive or non-progressive curves. And the pulmonary status of the patient. All these factors can evaluate after proper clinical examination and investigation. Hence kindly consult spine surgeon
