curved back
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.
Kyphosis and Scoliosis
Some types of posture defects are kyphosis, scoliosis, and lordosis. . These are different types of spine curvature problems. For example, scoliosis is a posture defect in which the spine has a C-shaped or S-shaped curve. Lordosis is also known as swayback and kyphosis is a hunched back.
That is called a scoliosis. You can remember the 'S' shaped spine of Scoliosis.
There are many different types of spine problems that may be called a bent spine. Some are kyphosis and scoliosis. A treatment for scoliosis or kyphosis can be a back brace, or in severe cases corrective surgery.
scoliosis can not be prevented
Scoliosis is a descriptive term for a spinal condition. Scoliosis means curvature
The four major types of postural disorder are kyphosis (excessive rounding of the upper back), lordosis (excessive inward curvature of the lower back), scoliosis (sideways curvature of the spine), and swayback (excessive curvature of the entire spine).
Certain types of scoliosis have genetic factors, some have no genetic input, and some are only from genetics. For example, adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, which makes up about 80 percent of all cases of scoliosis, is generally from a combination of both environmental factors (i.e. posture) and genetic predisposition.
