Article Excerpts about Scoliosis
Scoliosis is a musculoskeletal disorder in which there is
a sideways curvature of the spine, or backbone. The bones that make up
the spine are called vertebrae. Some people who have scoliosis require
treatment. Other people, who have milder curves, may only need to visit
their doctor for periodic observation.
