Hi Alrey,
Welcome. Scoliosis in young children is not common. When you mentioned your little one has back pain in the morning, and only a 15 degree curve of the spine, that is a big red flag to me that there is something else causing the back pain, and possibly causing the scoliosis. She needs to have a full-spine MRI to see if there are spinal cord problems. A tethered spinal cord could be causing her discomfort and contributing to the scoliosis. Many things can. The orthos who have brushed you (and her) off aren't seeing the whole picture. Please consider more opinions to help determine the cause of the back pain and scoliosis. Maybe she needs a consultation with a pediatric neurosurgeon.
Good luck and keep us posted.
