Scoliosis is a descriptive term for a spinal condition. Scoliosis means curvature
Scoliosis is not considered chronic or acute based on severity of the curve. Chronic implies long term, so if you have scoliosis that is untreated then it is chronic. If you have a functional scoliosis that is improved through conservative treatment, or severe structural scoliosis that is improved through surgery, then it is no longer chronic. Of course, the more severe the scoliosis at the start, the less likely it is to be "fixed" and thus the more likely it is to become chronic.

The term for an exaggerated lateral curvature of the spine is scoliosis.

Chronic diseases are those such as back pain that are characterized by being long-term in nature. Acute diseases are short-lived and generally are cured or run their course within three months. Scoliosis, for example, is a long term medical condition and could therefore be considered chronic. Acute spinal meningitis, however, would be a short-lived infection of the lining of the spinal cord.
They are 2 different conditions. Scoliosis is a curvature of the spine away from the middle. Kyphosis (humpback) is an overlapping of the vertebrae in the upper back.
