What Is Scoliosis?
Scoliosis is a spinal condition in which the spine curves sideways and also rotates along its axis.
Instead of being straight, the spine appears in an “S” or “C” shape when viewed from behind.
Scoliosis is not just a posture problem.
It is a structural spinal deformity that can progress over time if left untreated.
Who Can Develop Scoliosis?
• Most commonly seen in children and adolescents
• More frequent in girls
• Can be congenital or develop later in life
Common Signs of Scoliosis
• Uneven shoulders or hips
• Asymmetry of the back
• Rib hump when bending forward
• Back or lower back pain
• In severe cases, breathing difficulties
Diagnosis
Scoliosis is diagnosed through:
• Physical examination
• X-ray imaging
• Measurement of the Cobb angle
Treatment Options
Treatment depends on the degree of curvature and the patient’s age:
• Observation & exercise
• Bracing
• Surgical treatment
Early diagnosis makes scoliosis easier to control.
