Understanding Scoliosis: A Spinal Health Challenge
What is Scoliosis?
Scoliosis is an abnormal sideways curvature of the spine, starting as a postural distortion and potentially leading to permanent deformity if untreated. It can arise from congenital factors, habitual behaviors, or idiopathic causes.
Identifying Scoliosis
Parents might notice signs in their child like uneven shoulders, a high hip, or irregular shoe wear. Though often dismissed, back and leg pains can also be symptoms of scoliosis.
The Risks of Waiting
The “Wait and See” Approach
Ignoring scoliosis can lead to worsening conditions. In severe cases, this might necessitate wearing braces or undergoing surgery to attach steel rods to the spine.
