Scoliosis is a puzzling condition because no one knows for sure what causes it. I'm attracted to the theory that scoliosis comes from unbalanced breathing, which causes unbalanced expansion and contraction of the chest and pulling on one side of the spine. It sounds like you're dealing with a mild case, which is most common. The usual treatment is physical therapy to improve posture and tone spinal muscles. If that fails, the next step is a spinal brace worn for at least a year to correct the curvature.
Surgery is a last resort for severe scoliosis that interferes with breathing.
They claim it has even helped older adults with long-standing scoliosis. Scoliosis became an issue for the Whartons after Phil developed a spinal curvature during college. A track star in high school Phil typically ran about 35 miles a week. In college, he began running up to 80 miles per week and developed severe back pain. He tried massage, medications, everything, until his doctors told him that more running could cause nerve damage and even paralysis, and recommended surgery.
