Several different factors determine treatment of scoliosis, and your doctor will look at each of these factors to decide what is best for you. These factors are: age in years, bone age (your bones don’t always mature at the same rate as the rest of you), degree of curvature, location of curve in the spine, status of menses/puberty, sex of the patient, rate of worsening of the curve over time.
