Scoliosis in Children
Children with scoliosis have a sideways-curving spine, which frequently develops during growth spurts prior to puberty. It can be modest to severe and, if it worsens, may result in unequal shoulders, altered posture, or back pain. To properly manage the illness and avoid consequences, early detection and routine monitoring are crucial.
