Scoliosis

is where the spine curves to one side and most often happens during a growth spurt just before puberty. The treatment for babies and young children may be observation and include supporting braces until growth has stopped and in a small number of cases surgery may take place.  For adults

the treatment to relieve pain may include painkillers, spinal injections and, very occasionally, surgery. Most people with scoliosis are able to live normal lives and can do most activities, including exercise and sports.
