If you're under 18, look for a pediatric spine surgeon.
For scoliosis corrective surgery, they used to use Harrington roRAB. I'm not sure if that's what they still use, but generally it would be two long roRAB down each side of your spine. They can do a lot to straighten it up nicely if you get treatment in a timely fashion.
Let us know how you're doing and what they decide to do to help you.
I wish you the best as you move forward with this. It can be scary, but we'll do what we can to answer whatever questions you have. A lot of us here have had fusion surgery, which is probably what they would want to do for you. I have severe scoliosis, for which I have been fused. It was well worth it!
Take care,
Emily
