Detailed explanation-1: -Scoliosis is an abnormal lateral curvature of the spine. It is most often diagnosed in childhood or early adolescence. The spine’s normal curves occur at the cervical, thoracic and lumbar regions in the so-called “sagittal” plane.

Detailed explanation-2: -The main types of curvature problems are: Kyphosis-An abnormally rounded upper back. Lordosis (swayback)-An inward curve at the lower back. Scoliosis-A sideways curve that makes the spine appear S-shaped or C-shaped from the back.

Detailed explanation-3: -In some severe cases, surgery may be needed. Most people with scoliosis can have normal, active lives with treatment. Support groups can help. These are available for children and teens, and their parents.

Detailed explanation-4: -In more than 80 percent of cases, the cause of scoliosis is unknown-a condition called idiopathic scoliosis. In other cases, scoliosis may develop as a result of degeneration of the spinal discs, as seen with arthritis, osteoporosis or as a hereditary condition that tends to run in families.
