When it comes to mild scoliosis, the conventional wisdom tells patients and their families to watch and wait. Of course, watching and waiting typically leads to the condition progressing from mild to moderate and, eventually, to severe. I believe that patients have the best chance of treating scoliosis when it is in the earliest, mildest stages. Unfortunately, traditional treatment approaches are not so proactive. Furthermore, the signs of mild scoliosis can be quite subtle and difficult to discern.
