Scoliosis is a condition related to your spine in which the spine bends or curves to one side. This condition is seen more in youth. This condition can be seen in people who have problems like cerebral palsy or muscular dystrophy.

Initially, the cases of this condition are quite mild but as the child grows, this condition can become serious and can even make the child disabled. It can also reduce the space in the chest due to which your lungs feel unable to function properly.
