A 2007 study published in SPINE (which was a review of 18 separate studies) by Drs. Dolan and Weinstein concluded that observation only (no treatment) or scoliosis bracing showed no clear advantage of either approach. Furthermore one can not recommend one approach over another to prevent (scoliosis) surgery. They gave the recommendation for bracing a grade "D" relative to observation only because of "troublingly inconsistent or inconclusive studies on any level."

Can a cordizone shot help the pain associated with scoliosis?

A cortisone shot can help alleviate pain associated with scoliosis by reducing inflammation in the affected areas, potentially providing temporary relief. However, it is not a cure for scoliosis itself, as the condition involves a structural curvature of the spine. The effectiveness of the injection varies among individuals, and it’s typically used in conjunction with other treatments. Consulting a healthcare professional is essential to determine the best approach for managing scoliosis-related pain.
