Scoliosis is moderate, yes. If the curve, or curves (considering whether it's a C shape or S shape) are under 40 degrees, then you can get a brace. It's plastic, it's uncomfortable, and when I got one, I hated it so much that I actually took it off while I slept! You'd have to keep it on almost all day, except for if you have Gym class or when you're taking a shower, until you stop growing. But believe me, it was worth it. If you don't get a brace, then the spines curve can get worse and effect your entire organ system.

Of course if the curve(s) are more that 40 degrees than that means that you're gonna have to need surgery. There are some who do perfectly well in them, but there are others who don't. Some even die because of the surgery. The best bet is the brace.

Is Scoliosis Mild Moderate or Severe?

Scoliosis can be classified as mild, moderate, or severe based on the degree of curvature of the spine. Mild scoliosis typically involves a curvature of 10 to 20 degrees, moderate ranges from 20 to 40 degrees, and severe is characterized by a curvature greater than 40 degrees. The classification can influence treatment options and the potential impact on a person's health and mobility. Regular monitoring and assessment by a healthcare professional are important for managing the condition effectively.
