Scoliosis is a progressive condition, not a disease, causing the spine to curve or twist into a “C” or “S” shape. Scoliosis symptoms include uneven shoulders, shoulder blade prominence and waistline discrepancies. Scoliosis reportedly affects two to three percent of schoolaged children and has a tendency to run in families. It most often affects 10 to 15yearold girls.
