Scoliosis is a spinal condition that affects many individuals, characterised by a sideways curvature and misalignment of the spine.
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.
Common posture mistakes can affect the health of your spine and lead to complications in the long term.
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.
