Scoliosis Conditions and Diseases Health
Scoliosis is a condition that causes the spine to curve to the left or to the right, or even turn. It can happen slowly or quickly, during a growth spurt. For a large curve or a curve that is moving, a brace is the usual treatment. If the brace doesn't fix the problem, doctors can do surgery to help.
