What Is Scoliosis?
Scoliosis is more than just a curved spine; it’s a condition that can affect individuals differently, with symptoms ranging from mild to severe. While it’s often diagnosed in childhood or adolescence, it can also affect adults. The cause can be multifactorial, including congenital spine anomalies, genetic conditions, and neuromuscular issues, among others. Understanding scoliosis is the first step toward effectively treating the symptoms that accompany it.
