Hello, my name is (…). I’m an 18 year old female and I have scoliosis. I just wanted to ask when does the body (including the spine/bone structure, whatever it’s called) stop growing or developing for a female?

I want to know because I’m worried about it getting worse. I pretty much have a minor case, but the curve is noticeable. My shoulders are slightly uneven and my waist is uneven as well. I don’t really have any pain, just the occasional lower back pain and my back gets tired after trying to sit up for long periods of time.

I’m not on any medications, nor do I have any other medical conditions. It’s been sugggested to me that I just do exercises and add in special stretches that will specifically help with my scoliosis to relieve stiffness and any pain I may have. Thank you for your time!
