Scoliosis is a condition in which the spine develops an abnormal sideways curvature, often creating a C- or S-shaped appearance. It can develop during childhood or adolescence, but it can also occur in adults due to age-related changes in the spine. Depending on the severity and location of the curve, scoliosis may cause uneven shoulders or hips, changes in posture, back discomfort, or differences in the way a person moves.
Living with scoliosis can affect spinal alignment, flexibility, and overall movement. Some people have mild curves with few or no symptoms, while others may experience pain or limitations in daily activities. Regular monitoring and evaluation by a healthcare professional can help track changes in the spine and determine appropriate ways to support spinal health and mobility.
