Answer
Hi Frankie,
Thanks so much for your question.

There are different degrees of scoliosis, ranging from mild to extreme. If you are experiencing pain when you do your crunches, I would suggest you stop and seek your doctor's opinion on further exercise.

I am including some sites about scoliosis you may want to look at.

I sincerely hope this helps you and if you have any more questions, please feel free to ask me anytime.

Thanks again,
John McKinzie
