You need to see a specialist in spine development. My grandson has Marfan, which is one cause of the bone disorder. He has been extensively tested, for all the possible malfunctions that can accompany it.
Everything we have seen and heard about the scoliosis that it can be progressive, or maybe not, but it cannot be treated by exercise or braces. The only true treatment is surgery, and is not recommended unless there are accompanying complications, such as organ displacement.
I urge you to inform yourself by reading all the information on the internet, and visit your spine specialist counselor.
