About Scoliosis

Scoliosis is a medical condition in which a person's spine is curved from side to side. The spine may look like an "S" or a "C".
The signs of scoliosis can include:

• Uneven musculature on one side of the spine
• A rib prominence and/or a prominent shoulder blade, caused by rotation of the ribcage in thoracic scoliosis
• Uneven hips, arms or leg lengths
• Slow nerve action (in some cases)

Scoliosis is more common in girls than boys.
