Scoliosis is a descriptive term for a curvature in the spine, depending on the level of the curve could mean you are shorter as a result., For example, the surgery I had meant I grew 5 inches in the 7 hours I was being straightened

So I think yes it can prevent you from getting taller but only in the sense of the shape of the curve and its position and size
