idk what surgery i can get he never really mentioned anything im really thinking about getting a second opinion though
he didnt give me an xray copy and i also have scoliosis and i guess spinal bfida oculta which he says is the same as spondylolytic spondylolisthesis
also this is a huge demotivation for me to train anymore as i wanted to be a powerlifter
( as i have a huge frame and my lifts were quite high i had a 405 deadlift and 3 plate squat and ive only been lifting for 6 monthslike a 4 degree curve not bad also hes never told me anything about a brace or any of this stuff just to go in for treatment nothing else

Don't get discouraged man your 15 there is no telling what will happen that's a small degree I would do a few things, I would look online around your area a good orthopedic and schedule a appointment, tell him your concerns. See what he says and if he doesn't say anything about a brace, surgery, or any alternatives tell him about it and see his reasoning on why you shouldn't have any of those listed. Try and call your old doctor (witch you still never told me what kind of doctor he was) and get an X-ray copy sent to you for future references. Your curve isn't a big issue right now however anytime you have scoliosis it will get worse with time and if you don't take proper actions to prevent it
And treatment as in what? What does he want to do

I'm telling you right now don't go to him he is trying t scare you and your parents into coming back to him every week go to a real doctor an orthopedic surgeon would be your best bet and talk to him 90% sure the ortho will till you the chiropractor is a dick head and doesn't know what he is talking about
