What is Scoliosis?
Scoliosis is a condition where the spine curves sideways, often resembling an “S” or “C” shape. It can develop at any age, but it commonly appears during the growth spurt before puberty. While mild cases may not cause noticeable symptoms, severe scoliosis can lead to discomfort and other health issues.
Causes of Scoliosis
- Idiopathic: Most cases have no known cause.
- Congenital: Present at birth due to spinal deformities.
- Neuromuscular: Associated with conditions like cerebral palsy or muscular dystrophy.
- Degenerative: Occurs in adults due to aging and spinal wear.

- Uneven shoulders or hips
- A visibly curved spine
- Back pain or discomfort
- Difficulty breathing in severe cases
