A scoliosis that has a "C" shape can sometimes be fixed with a chiropractic practitioner that practices the Pierce-Stillwagon technique, however, the "S" shaped scoliosis usually not. If your back is not painful, doing yoga on a regular basis can help.
Scoliosis will not get better by itself. You can’t “grow out of it”. In fact, research finds just the opposite, 75% of scoliosis patients get worse regarding the increased degree of scoliosis. Scoliosis can get severe in magnitude that it can cause organ pressure and problems (difficulty breathing). Also, arthritis, osteoporosis, and pain and mobility problems. Exercise is something you can do, especially core muscle strengthening, to help yourself. In my 28 years of experience, I have seen many people straighten up with specific Chiropractic Adjustments along with specific spinal and core muscle exercises.
