Scoliosis: What You Need To Know?

The sideways curvature that you observe at the back in children is called Scoliosis. One can see this defect before the child attains the age of puberty. In general, we can say at the time of growth spurt. The reason or the cause of Scoliosis is not always known. However, two of the reasons can be muscular dystrophy and cerebral palsy. When the cause is unknown, it is called idiopathic Scoliosis. It may be either because of genes or some other reason. Even the doctors fail to describe the cause of Scoliosis.
