What is Scoliosis?
Is a medical condition in which the spine is curve to one side, it can occur in a child, usually from 10years old and may worsen during the period of rapid growth that occurs just before puberty.
Once this growth spurt has stopped, the fcurve usually becomes stable.
There are several different "warning signs" to look for to help determine if you or someone you love has scoliosis. Should you notice any one or more of these signs, you should schedule an exam with a doctor.
Shoulders are different heights—one shoulder blade is more prominent than the other
Head is not centered directly above the pelvis
Appearance of a raised, prominent hip
Rib cages are at different heights
Uneven waist
Changes in look or texture of skin overlying the spine (dimples, hairy patches, color changes)
Leaning of entire body to one side .
