Spinal Deformities and Scoliosis
Spinal deformities encompass any abnormal curvature of the spine. Scoliosis is the most common type, characterized by a sideways curvature that often resembles an "S" or "C" shape. It typically develops during childhood or adolescence, with the cause often unknown (idiopathic scoliosis). Other types of deformities can be present at birth (congenital) or arise from conditions like muscular dystrophy or injuries.
