Diagnosis and Treatments for Scoliosis in Birmingham and Hoover, Alabama
The spine features a natural forward-and-backward curve, also referred to as an S-shaped curve, rounding the shoulders and bending slightly inward at the waist. When that arc is distorted or abnormal, it’s known as scoliosis. When a patient has scoliosis, their spine develops a side-to-side curve. This curve can be as mild as ten degrees or as severe as 100 degrees. Patients who are suffering from a severe case of scoliosis may be recommended for treatment.
