Identifying scoliosis early enables timely intervention to prevent progression of the curvature. Mild cases often respond well to conservative treatments such as physical therapy and bracing, whereas severe cases might require surgical intervention. Regular monitoring allows healthcare providers to make informed decisions and prevent complications like chronic pain, respiratory issues, and reduced quality of life.<\/p><figure
