People searching online for scoliosis information tend to ask the same core questions. Bringing clear answers together helps cut through confusion and misinformation.
Most structural scoliosis cannot be prevented, because it is driven by genetics and growth rather than lifestyle. However, early detection and proactive management can prevent small curves from becoming large, symptomatic ones.
General exercise keeps the back healthy but does not usually straighten a structural curve on its own. Scoliosis‑specific exercise, combined with bracing in growing children, can stabilise and sometimes improve curves.
No. Many mild curves cause no symptoms and never progress significantly. The seriousness depends on curve size, progression risk, and impact on breathing, nerves, or function.
Yes. With modern treatment, most people with scoliosis live full, active lives with little or no limitation. Early, tailored care at Dorsi maximises this likelihood.
If online searches have left you more anxious than informed, Dorsi Spinal Institute can answer your specific questions and direct you to deeper resources across our blog and video library.
