Key Supplements

  • Magnesium 400-600mg (muscle relaxation, reduces spasms)
  • Vitamin D3 5000-10000 IU + Vitamin K2 MK-7 200mcg (bone health, prevents progression in growing children)
  • Calcium 500-1000mg (bone health—from food preferred, citrate or microcrystalline hydroxyapatite form)
  • Omega-3 2-4g/day (anti-inflammatory, reduces pain)
  • Curcumin 500-1000mg 3x/day (anti-inflammatory for pain)
  • Boswellia 500mg 3x/day (reduces inflammation, back pain)

Key Lab Markers

  • X-rays (Cobb angle measurement—<10° normal alignment, 10-25° mild scoliosis, 25-40° moderate, >40° severe)
  • Full spine X-ray (standing—assesses structural curve)
  • MRI (if neurological symptoms, rapid progression, atypical curve, congenital—rules out spinal cord abnormalities, syrinx, tethered cord, tumor)
  • Bone density scan (if adult degenerative scoliosis, osteoporosis risk)
