Scoliosis is a spinal condition that can develop in children where the spine grows a sideways curve. It commonly occurs just before puberty when children begin a pattern of growth. It can be caused by cerebral palsy and muscular dystrophy, but scoliosis is not always a sign of these conditions. Most cases of scoliosis cannot be explained.

Fortunately, most cases of scoliosis are mild; but other cases can grow worse and even become disabling, at times reducing space within the chest and affecting the lungs.
