Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine. It often occurs during the growth spurt that happens right before puberty. Scoliosis may be caused by a number of conditions, and some of them are known, but others are completely a mystery. For example, it is known that scoliosis can be caused by muscular dystrophy and cerebral palsy, but most of the time the reason that scoliosis happens is completely unknown. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When it does happen though, it can result in a serious disability that causes the person to walk bent over or use some other mode of conveyance because their spine is so bent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\r\n
