What is Scoliosis?

So first, what is scoliosis? What causes scoliosis?

Scoliosis is a medical condition in which a person's spine is curved to the side. Usually shaped like a S or C instead a straight line.

Scoliosis could be caused by genetics, or when a person like to sit, stand, and sleep in a wrong position which is to the side.

There 2 other types:
  • Kyphosis: a curve seen from the side in which the spine is bent forward.
  • Lordosis: a curve seen from the side in which the spine is bent backward.
Both are caused from scoliosis.
