Scoliosis is a medical condition characterized by an abnormal sideways curvature of the spine. It can be congenital, neuromuscular, or idiopathic in nature and often occurs during a growth spurt before puberty. Symptoms of scoliosis may include uneven shoulders, waist or hips, and back pain. Treatment options depend on the severity of the curvature and may include observation, bracing, or surgery. Regular monitoring and early intervention are crucial to prevent the progression of scoliosis and to manage any associated symptoms for better long-term outcomes.
