can a scoliosis curve progress at 17 years old?

Can a scoliosis curve progress at 17 years old? I am not sure if i am done my skeletal growth, but i have an upper thoracic curve of 30.5 degrees and a slight lumbar curve that they did not measure the cobb-angle. i was just wondering what my chances are of it getting worse

thanks!
