Thanks very much for your reply! Has your curve remained stable over the years? I've been told my curve may worsen by 3% per year. Have you tried regular PT or Schroth PT? My first Schroth PT is scheduled for next week. I'm hoping for the best.
I searched online using SCOLIOSIS AND DEXA SCAN for information about how scoliosis might affect DEXA scan results. There is a lot of information on this topic if you'd like to try these terms in Google.
My scoliosis was diagnosed by XR SCOLIOSIS STUDY AP AND LAT so I searched for those terms as well. Lots of good information on this topic as well.

I don’t believe my scoliosis has gotten noticeably worse. Maybe some since the 1950s but I have 20+ yrs of bone scans and my spine at least looks unchanged. 3% a year over some of that period should show some change. I exercise regularly and walk 2 to 3 miles a day depending on the season. I am even still skiing which makes my Dr cringe. Hope to maintain my lifestyle for a few more years which may be all I have left.
