Scoliosis is a medical condition that involves the sideways curvature of the spine that causes back pain, uneven shoulder alignment and difficulty breathing. Scoliosis is one of the leading forms of spinal deformity in young adults with roughly three million new U.S. cases per year. In a majority of cases, scoliosis marked by only a slight curvature of the spine causes little to no problems and may go away as the child develops. In severe cases, when too much of a sideways curvature is present, surgical intervention may be required to prevent further medical complications.
