While there is no definitive cure for scoliosis, it is possible to manage the situation and prevent its progression. It is best to be proactive, as starting treatment right away is better than passively monitoring the curves’ progression. If a treatment approach is successful in reducing the lateral curve of the spine but prevents someone from their normal activities, like sports, the treatment would not be seen as a success. The goal is to reduce the curve AND contribute to improving their quality of life.
