Scoliosis is a spinal condition that affects many individuals, characterised by a sideways curvature and misalignment of the spine.
A healthy spine possesses a natural S-shaped curve (made out of multiple curves), but when these curves become exaggerated, it can lead to discomfort, pain, and potentially serious complications.
Scoliosis, along with kyphosis and lordosis, is one of the spinal disorders that consists of an exaggerated curve of the spine – in this case a lateral exaggeration of the spinal curvature.
Exercises can be a great way to overcome lower back pain. They can be especially beneficial if your pain is on the milder side.
Lumbar scoliosis is an abnormal lateral curvature of the spine in the lumbar region. It varies in severity, from mild, to moderate, to severe, depending on the degree of the spinal curvature it causes.
Kyphosis and Scoliosis are both conditions that cause spinal deformities, but don’t always lead to pain.
Scoliosis is a spinal disorder that can be caused either by hereditary or developmental factors (metabolic, habitual postures, lack of exercise etc) and its primary distinct feature is the abnormal sideways curvature of the spine.
