Suggest Treatment For Minor Scoliosis

I have minor scoliosis. I think that this has caused my ribcage to appear uneven. My shoulders were uneven as well but I have practiced making them level so long that they are. As a result I have a crooked rib cage that protrudes but level shoulders. If pictures are needed I can provide. Im 17 year old male about 5'8" .

Hello,

I have studied your case.

Spine extension exercises and corrective braces may help in mild cases.

There can be associated disc Protrusion leading to neuritic pain.
You may need MRI spine to get detail diagnosis.

For symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started.
Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care
