Hi. I don’t know much but tried to read up. I mean why would a doctor not offer treatment/ surgery when they could earn money?
I saw this:
“Braces: These body braces are prescribed for children whose bones are still growing. The child will have to wear the brace continuously for one or two years to halt the progression of the spinal curve. “
So I think the SGH doctor was being kind to you.
—> Growing children - issue will continue / recur if just one surgery is done now.

On the other hand, I had a friend’s daughter who had scoliosis and went for 2 years and many thousands of $$ with chiropractor.
At first was happy saying she felt better each time. But after the two years, the issue got worse! Finally went for surgery at age 18 and she’s much better now.
Hope this helps in your consideration.
