I have scoliosis in my lower back and my x-ray shows it's C-shaped near the base of my spine. Is there any way to fix this without surgery? Are there specific exercises that might help correct it over time? I'm really worried about whether this can improve without going under the knife.

Mild scoliosis can improve with core strengthening, physiotherapy, and posture correction; regular follow-up is key, surgery only if worsening.

I have a full thickness supraspinatus tear in my right shoulder can this heal on its own or will I need surgery? What would you recommend for treatment?
non-surgical treatments may offer temporary relief, a full-thickness supraspinatus tear in your right shoulder will likely require surgery to address the complete tear and restore proper shoulder function.

I'm a bit worried because yesterday I collided with someone while playing football and hit my chest pretty hard with my fist. I used a cold pack right away, and the pain seemed to lessen, but this morning it was back just as bad. There's no redness or pain when I breathe, but if I move or stretch, like getting out of bed, it really hurts. Sometimes it even hurts when I cough hard. I've been taking dolo after meals in the morning and at night, and I'm using belladonna plaster along with hot water pack treatments twice a day. Should I go see a doctor right away, or is it okay to monitor the pain a bit longer? Am I doing the right things with the medicines and treatments?
if pain is reduced, then no need to visit the doctor
