Little is known about the history of spinal deformities in ancient Greece.
Hippocrates introduced the terms scoliosis and kyphosis and wrote in depth about diagnosis and treatment
Through accurate observation and logical reasoning was led to accurate conclusions firstly for the structure of the spine and secondly for its diseases.
The innovation of the board, the application of axial traction and even the principle of trans-abdominal correction for correction of spinal deformities have their origin in Hippocrates. Galen, who lived nearly five centuries later impressively described scoliosis, lordosis and kyphosis, provided aetiologic implications and used the same principles with Hippocrates for their management, while his studies influenced medical practice on spinal deformities for more than 1500 years.

My mom doesn't have scoliosis but can i get scoliosis?
I have scoliosis and no one in my family has had it. So you can get scoliosis even if its not in your family history. There are 3 types of scoliosis, I suggest looking them up, I unfortunatly have the type that no one knows what's causing it. But the 2 other types are well know and if you have it they can probably do more for you than mine.
Who founded scoliosis?
The history of scoliosis treatment is as old as the condition of idiopathic scoliosis itself.

I am a girl with Scoliosis if i have a girl will she too have Scoliosis?
Not likely. Scoliosis is usually a birth defect with the tissue near the spine. Mild cases are common, showing up during adolesence. Scoliosis is not know to be spread by family history. ~ I'm going to have to disagree with the answer listed above. Scoliosis is a multi-factorial condition with both genetic pre-disposition and environmental influences. While it is not guaranteed that "scoliosis genes" may be pasted onto the offspring, it is certainly a likelihood.
