Hi Aishi,
I'm not Maryann, but I am another Guide at EmpowHER. I have had scoliosis, and didn't need any braces or surgery (luckily). I still have a slight curvature in the base of my spine, and I sometimes have trouble with my hips being tight. But with exercise, the pain is kept to a minimum. Depending on how severe your case, a doctor could recommend treatment that would be right for you and cost effective.
Here are some articles (and videos) that may interest you on this topic. Scoliosis Treatment Articles and Videos
Talk with your doctor. If you don't have insurance, be sure to share that information with your doctor. They often will take that into consideration when deciding on a price for you and may allow you to pay on a payment plan.
Good luck, and let us know what you find out.
