Back exercises after adjustments?
Without knowing the extent of your situation (whether it was from trauma, strain, overuse) I could not safely give your recommendations. Please ask your chiropractor for recommendation as it would be negligent of me to give your recommendations without an exam and/or possibly imaging. Your chiropractor should know what is best for you in regards to stretching and exercises...if they are not willing to assist look for a chiropractor or clinic that will offer adjustments as well as exercises and stretching recommendations.

Is scoliosis preventable?
Scoliosis can be assisted by chiropractic care. Research does not have details on prevention, however it does have plenty of research on reducing the scoliosis curve (once present) and slowing rate of curvature. Hope this helps! READ MORE
Do chiropractors typically take x-rays?
X-rays are a fairly common practice, but not always necessary (my own opinion). Some that perform X-rays will have X-ray units in their office. I personally do not do X-rays in my clinic, but have sent patients offsite so that we could rule out any contraindications to treatment (accidents, past injuries, etc would be a good reason for X-ray review).
