While it stays the same in several cases, the curvature of the spine with scoliosis increases as time passes. Scoliosis can cause many symptoms, requiring rehabilitation.
Roughly 3% of the populace is affected. The majority of instances are unknown, but it’s thought to involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Risk factors include having relatives with scoliosis. It might develop due to health problems, such as tumors, cerebral palsy, muscle cramps, and Marfan syndrome.
