The spine has normal curves when looking at it from the side. When looking at it from the front or the back it should be straight. Scoliosis is a curve or lateral deviation to the side.
Scoliosis is usually acquired during the growing years. It is very important for a child with scoliosis to receive the proper checkups to monitor the scoliosis using orthopedic exams and x-rays. Chiropractic treatment can be very effective in decreasing pain and improving the overall motion of the spine.
