What is Scoliosis?

Scoliosis is a condition of the spine in which a sideways curvature develops. It is most common during the growth spurts in children just before puberty. This condition may be mild with few symptoms initially but may lead to severe deformities as the child grows. These severe deformities may be extremely painful and disabling for the child.
