I did, for many years; exercise is the best answer, you just need to find a kind that works well with the body. I went with yoga, tai chi and martial arts are good too. You do have to keep it up, but not to the extent I did, just something on a regular basis. Half an hour or even less a couple times a week (or even less) can make all the difference, if you're doing the right thing correctly.
The idea is things like yoga and tai chi stretch and realign the body, so things go back where they belong, and you can train your body into better shape that way. Martial arts are generally the same way, while ballet for example is exactly the opposite of what your body wants or needs. I even had no scoliosis for about 20 yrs, even though I do and it's back, unrelated reasons you've heard.
It's basically that your back responds to stresses by creating its own habits of tension, knots, and spasms, so helping it realign for good support changes everything. Also ergonomic and firm furniture can make a lot of difference; heavy people and those who work on their feet can find firm beds uncomfortable for unrelated reasons, in which case the best thing is usually figuring out NASA foam (it does take figuring out, don't just get some). Really good exercise of this kind (unlike aerobic or muscle building) feels great too, not just afterward, it's more like good massage, and you can get strength and tone right where you need it.
