It really depends on the individual case. I have severe scoliosis and I was told I could decide. If I didn't have surgery it was possible I would have significant pain in the future. Apparently Usane Bolt has scoliosis so that is proof you can live a normal healthy life. After thinking for quite a while I decided to opt for the surgery. I will be having it next summer.
If you broke your spine with or without scoliosis you will need spine surgery. You will also need to take physical therapy to help strengthen your spine after the surgery.
After scoliosis surgery, it depends where they fused/placed the rods/screws...I had scoliosis surgery and I can crack the TOP half of my spine, but, the screws are at the bottom of my back and I am unable to crack it there. :)
surgery
I don't know if this helps but my mom had to have neck surgery because she had a herniated disk in her neck (it was all messed up) and i am 13 and i have scoliosis and it is mostly in my neck. so i dont know about scoliosis exactly but my mom had neck issues and i do to, that could be a coincedence but i dont think it is.
it stunts your growth from your back...your legs can still grow. i had spinal fusion surgery(for scoliosis)

If you are diagnosed with Scoliosis you should be referred to a spinal surgeon who will recommend treatments which could include bracing or surgery It really depends on the extent of the curve 10-25º observation 25-40º bracing 40-50º and over surgery
Of course they can!
I was 18 months old when I had my first operation of scoliosis however mine was a bad case of scoliosis.
yes, if it is about 50 degrees or more
No!
