🌀 What Causes Scoliosis? 🌀
June is Scoliosis Awareness Month, and it's time to raise awareness and bust some myths!
Did you know that poor posture does NOT cause scoliosis?

👣 Scoliosis is a condition where the spine curves sideways and affects 2–3% of people. There are several types:

✅ Idiopathic – Most common, especially in teens, with no known cause.
✅ Congenital – The spine doesn't form properly before birth.
✅ Neuromuscular – Linked to conditions like cerebral palsy or muscular dystrophy.
✅ Degenerative – Caused by age-related spinal changes.

Understanding scoliosis is the first step toward early detection and proper care.

🔍 Know your curve.
