Generally no. Any weight bearing exercise helps increase bone density and strengthens muscles in your core. Its important to transition slowly into jogging so all your muscles and ligaments have time to strengthen and stretch. Pushing yourself hard without much preparation often results in injury.If chronic discomfort is felt while jogging it's a good idea to stop and perhaps think about seeing a specialist.
In general any form of exercise is beneficial for scoliosis sufferers.

∙ 12y agoI have kyphosis (in addition to less severe scoliosis) and I was told by a PT that running is bad.
Aerobic exercise is good for helping kyphosis, but it needs to be something with lower impact, such as an elliptical machine or bicycle.
Running, especially on a paved surface, is relatively high-impact for anyone, especially someone with kyphosis.
