Scoliosis is not covered by heavy objects (eg, heavy school bags on a shoulder), sports or physical activities, poor performance or sleeping postures, or a lack of calcium in the diet. Scoliosis affects the whole body.
If the portion of the spine, which is in the chest, called the thoracic scoliosis is defined as a lateral curvature of the spine, the presence of which is abnormal, the name is derived from the Greek word for curvature. It can be disfiguring because when the spine curves to the side, the vertebrae (the individual bones that make up the spine) are twisted and pull the ribs round with them, sometimes a “bulge” on the back and lead that the shoulder blade to stick out – the rib hump.
