SCOLIOSISBy Isabel and Maria

WHAT IS SCOLIOSIS?Someone with scoliosis may have a back that

curves like an "S" or a "C." While small curves generally do not cause problems, larger curves can cause discomfort. 

HOW DO YOU GET SCOLIOSIS?Sometimes you are born with scoliosis but

you can get it if you are in a bad posture

SYMPTOMS

Back or lumbago painFeeling tired in the spine after standing or

sitting for a long timeCurvature of the column more to one sideShoulders or hips that look uneven (one

shoulder higher than another)

TREATMENTIn most cases, scoliosis does not require medical

treatment. The doctor just regularly checks the person’s spine to make sure the curve doesn't become any larger. If the curve is 20 to 40 degrees, the orthopedist may suggest a back brace (corset) and you have to do exercise for a strong back

PREVENTIONDoctors say that you have to be in a good

posture

SPECIAL INFORMATIONYOU DON’ T NEED MEDICINES!!!!!
