Scoliosis is a disorder in which your backbone becomes curved at
the wrong angles. Its name is derived from the Greek work 'skolios'
which means 'crooked.' The normal shape of your backbone is such
that it is bent forward in the middle and backward at the top and
bottom. When you view a normal backbone from the side, you can see
the curve. And when you view from front, it looks straight. But if
you acquire scoliosis, this means that your backbone develops more
curves, which give your backbone an abnormal shape. The curves may
develop at both the top and bottom of the backbone. This results in
a backbone which has the shape of a 'C' or an 'S.' It is very
important to diagnose scoliosis as early as possible. This is
because if you get scoliosis while your bones are still growing,
your scoliosis will get severe over time. And the severity of your
backbone curve will worsen as long as your bones are growing. So if
the diagnosis was late, you have given your backbone curve a lot of
time to get worse. On the other hand, if you diagnose it soon after
you acquire scoliosis, you may be in the position to apply a number
of treatment methods such as braces to stop the worsening of your
backbone curve or even improve the curve.
