SCOLIOSIS

Scoliosis can affect boys and girls however there seems to be a more frequent occurrence in girls between the ages of 8 and 18.

Scoliosis is a abnormal sideways curvature in the spine that makes an "S" or "C" shape. 

In the beginning, which is the easiest time to correct,  there is rarely any symptoms. A parent however may notice a shoulder that is higher or a hip that is lower, and uneven waist or leaning to one side. Clothing that doesn't fit properly can be a sign. Your child may have back and leg pains but are overlooked as "growing pains". 
                              

                                 NEGLECT IS DANGEROUS 

Scoliosis can cause physical and emotional pain. Lungs, Heart and many other vital organs can be affected if scoliosis is allowed to advance.

TYPES OF SCOLIOSIS

Congenital Scoliosis:

This can develop secondary to a bony abnormality of the sacrum, vertebrae or ribs present at birth.

Idiopathic Scoliosis:

Is progressive significantly during rapid growth periods. Most curvatures however will progress slowly, if at all after skeletal maturity.

Acquired Scoliosis:
Develops by moving wrong, picking up heavy objects, trauma.

The spinal frame is so very important for structure and good health by protecting the nerve flow to vital organs and body parts.
