SCOLIOSIS
Scoliosis is a condition that involves complex lateral and rotational curvature and deformity of the spine. Scoliosis impacts infants, adolescents, and adults. Females are eight times more likely to progress to a curve magnitude that requires treatment or surgery.
Left untreated, this unhealthy curve can worsen and cause disfigurement, respiratory and digestive problems, and debilitating pain. Most scoliosis patients are diagnosed between ages 12 and 16, although there are many adults who suffer from the disease as well.
Scoliosis can impact the quality of life by limiting activity, increasing pain, and reducing respiratory function, all leading to the diminishing self-esteem.
