Scoliosis
Scoliosis is a sideways deviation of the spine, which instead of staying straight adopts a "C"- or "S"-shaped curvature when viewed from the front.
How it is noticed:
- Shoulders or hips at different heights.
- An area of the back that is more prominent when bending forward.
- In some cases, discomfort or a feeling of fatigue in the back.
When to seek care? An evaluation is advisable when an uneven posture, a visible curvature, or changes in the outline of the back are observed, especially during growth.
Which specialist treats it? The neurosurgeon takes part in the evaluation of curvatures that affect the spine and the associated nerve structures. If you notice a deviation or asymmetry in the back, a professional review helps understand its extent.
