Scoliosis is a condition where the spine curves to one side, forming an “S” or “C” shape in the back. Most often, this curvature develops during adolescence without a known cause, but it can sometimes be due to an underlying medical condition, such as a neuromuscular disease, a congenital deformity, or cerebral palsy.
Scoliosis generally presents as a mild condition with few symptoms. However, in some cases, it can become severe enough to affect a person’s ability to perform daily activities and impact their quality of life. Symptoms of scoliosis include back pain, imbalance, weakness in the lower back, and a visible deformity in the back.
It is crucial to address scoliosis at an early age. While it is usually discovered during adolescence, early detection is possible through signs such as poor posture that tilts to one side and difficulty standing upright. Early intervention can prevent the condition from causing more severe damage and, in some cases, prevent irreversible harm.
