What can be done you have scolisis and deterative bone dease and arthritis all set up in your back?
Scoliosis is when the spine curves away from its natural position in the middle of the spine. I have scoliosis, but it is a very small case and does not require treatment. The worse the curve, the more need for treatment. If it is a severe case of scoliosis, you may need to be put in a brace to help keep your back straight. However, when removed, your bones will feel much stiffer, and there isn't much you can do about it. The only thing the situation can become is worse, so try to take care of your body!
