Can mild scoliosis be treated in a person suffering from shoulder stiffness, disc degeneration, and facet arthrosis?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I went through your query and understood your concern.

I understand that the word "scoliosis" in the X-ray report has caused so much worry (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity). The "minimal scoliosis" mentioned in the report is better called spinal asymmetry to indicate that it is not in any abnormal situation. Many radiologists would say it is normal and there is no scoliosis. However, you have some degenerative changes, osteophytes, etc., which are part of the normal aging process but may sometimes require some medications, exercises, etc. So, to summarise, you can take the thought of scoliosis totally out of your mind and follow your doctor's advice regarding degenerative spine conditions, facet arthrosis, etc.

I hope this has helped you out.

Take care.

Hi,

Yes, you got it right. It is the T5 and very slightly tilted leftwards, may be less than 1 degree.

I hope this has helped you out.

Kindly revert if you have more doubts.
