Idiopathic Scoliosis

Idiopathic scoliosis is a condition where the spine develops a sideways curve without an identifiable cause. It typically occurs during adolescence and may progress over time. The exact reason for the curve isn't known, but it’s believed to involve genetic and environmental factors. The severity can vary, from mild to severe, potentially affecting posture and, in some cases, causing discomfort or breathing issues. Treatment depends on the degree of curvature and can range from observation and physical therapy to wearing a brace or surgery. Regular monitoring is important to manage the condition effectively.
