[Scoliosis] What Is Scoliosis? What Causes Scoliosis?

Scoliosis is a condition in which the spine bends to the side abnormally; either to the right or left. The curvature can be moderate to severe. Any part of the spine can be bent in scoliosis; but the most common regions are the chest area (thoracic scoliosis) or the lower part of the back (lumbar scoliosis).....

Thanks for the good article Justin I just wish they would have recognized my scoliosis when I was younger. I know it played a big role in my spine issues and proper treatment at an early age could have prevented the damage I seek to fix now.

But then how would I have came to meet you and all the WONDERFUL people who make this site as supportive and educational as it is.....I guess there is always a bright side to every situation

Funny story..... They did scoliosis checks at our school one year and I skipped out b/c I heard you had to lift your shirt up in the back and I was embarrassed they would see my bra! LOL (not sure if that was even true; but I was sure worried about it, think it was like in 7th grade). Luckily, I don't have scoliosis, or I would have been kicking myself for not getting checked.
