What exactly is scoliosis/kyphosis and what causes it?
Scoliosis is an abnormal curvature of the spine. In layman’s terms consider your spinal column a tall building. The foundation, the structural scaffolding and the beam construction keep the building upright, very much like the discs and spinal column in your back. When a building starts to collapse, it leans, twists, shimmies and then falls; it does not go straight down. With scoliosis your spine is exactly like a tall building that twists and begins to collapse.
