Treatment for Scoliosis and Abnormal Curvature of the Spine.

Scoliosis is a back condition that causes the spine to curve to the left or right side. Most cases develop in children between the ages of 9 and 14 during the growth spurt of puberty. Scoliosis is usually mild and needs no treatment. For more severe cases treatments include a back brace and surgery to straighten the spine.

What is scoliosis?
scoliosis
The word scoliosis comes from the Greek word meaning crooked. The spine (back) should look straight, up and down, when you look at someone from behind. If the spine has a sideways curve, it is called a scoliosis.

The curve can bend to the left or to the right. The severity of the curve can vary from very mild and barely noticeable to severe.

The curve can be in the lower part of the spine (a lumbar curve), in the upper part of the spine (a thoracic curve) or go from the upper to lower part of the spine (a thoracolumbar curve). In some cases there is a double curve - like an S shape.
