if it's one or two levels fused it might not a big deal. if it's majority of your spine be very careful. there are solutions like (after trying physio) fibrin injections like discseel for bad discs or VBT, apifix or Clear physiotherapy for scoliosis. Never get fusion as a first resort, they can cause complications much later down the line (10+ years) like ASD/ disc dehydration which are not naturally reversible.
