Scoliosis

If you experience any symptoms, please consult a doctor (Spinal curvature, Curvature of the spine, Lateral curvature of the spine, Abnormal curvature of the spine, Side-to-side curvature of the spine, Lateral spinal deviation, Asymmetrical spinal curvature, Abnormal lateral curvature of the spine)

Scoliosis is a condition where the spine curves sideways in an "S" or "C" shape instead of its normal straight line. It can develop in childhood or adolescence and is characterized by uneven shoulders, a tilted pelvis, and a raised or lowered hip. It can also cause pain, fatigue, and respiratory problems. It is usually diagnosed with an x-ray and treated with physical therapy, bracing, and in some cases, surgery.
