Scoliosis Support Group
Scoliosis affects all ages. Unlike the naturally occurring curves in the spine, scoliosis causes the spine to curve abnormally to the left or right.
That day, I went to see a doctor(not orthopaedist though). He recommended me for the physiotherapy instead of surgery beacuse he said that the orthopaedic surgeons in my country are not pro in scoliosis surgery.
