But not everyone with scoliosis has such a severe case. Mine is not very serious and I don't notice it much. Scoliosis can cause pain. There's no doubt about it. I went to a doctor and got it taken care of without surgery.
Doctors have several types of treatments for patients with minor cases of scoliosis.
One commonly used treatment is the back brace. Braces can range from any type of material, to any size, and to any degree of effectiveness. A new type of treatment that is used along with the brace is muscle stimulation. In this treatment patients have their back muscles stimulated while wearing the back brace. The stimulation is supposed to help the back straighten.
