Scoliosis is a condition which results from asymmetrical growth of the vertebral bodies.
_______________

From Dr. Lamantia:
Yes, it is a disease. Scoliosis is most commonly found in female adolescents between the ages 12 and 14. However scoliosis may also develop in adulthood as a secondary condition to injury or degenerative Arthritis. Non surgical treatments such as the spinecor brace-- looks like this (see phtos: http:/www.spinebracespecialists.com/scoliosis_brace.html), or an exercise method such as the Schroth Method (see photos http:/www.spinebracespecialists.com/schroth_method.html) are the best treatments available today.
