What is Scoliosis?
Scoliosis is a condition where a child’s spine curves sideways in an abnormal “S” or “C” shape. While a slight curve is common, scoliosis refers to progressive spinal curvature that may worsen as the child grows. It can be congenital (present at birth), idiopathic (unknown cause), or due to neuromuscular conditions like cerebral palsy.
Scoliosis can affect posture, breathing, and self-confidence, and in some cases, may require bracing or surgery.
Key Facts About Scoliosis

Girls are more likely to have progressive scoliosis
Most cases are mild and monitored regularly
Severe curves can cause pain, breathing issues, or visible deformity
Early detection leads to better outcomes
