My brother has slight scoliosis at the base of his spine. It was diagnosis when he was in high school. 85% of the time it doesn't bother him, but if he lifts heavy stuff or spends a lot of time bending and twisting it hurts. Of course, that he works construction doesn't help.
He has been to several doctors and basically they have all told him that the only real fix is surgery, but there are plenty of risks with that. When his back does go out and hurts he goes to a Chiropractor and they adjust it and he feels fine again. He ends up going 2-3 times per year, but to him it is option than surgery.
