I would guess scoliosis. It is progressive and can lead to serious life threatening deformities. Cause is unknown.
At an early age like 15 she can be fitted for a Milwaukee Brace. That is a body covering that stays on night and day (except for an hour or so to wash up). If worn conscientiously it can cause the body to create a compensating curve that makes the person look straight and that eliminates later complications.

Her diagnosis is scoliosis.
Treatment will differ a little depending on who you go to.
Have a read of the wikipedia page
