Medical experts are highlighting the importance of early diagnosis and personalized management for scoliosis, a three-dimensional spinal deformity involving lateral curvature and vertebral rotation.

Specialists note that the condition often becomes apparent during pre-adolescent or adolescent growth spurts, frequently manifesting as trunk asymmetry, such as uneven shoulder levels or protruding shoulder blades. While it occurs more often in girls, boys also require monitoring. Although common misconceptions link the condition to heavy school bags or poor posture, the exact cause is often unclear, with idiopathic scoliosis being the most common form.

Effective treatment strategies emphasize individualized care based on the patient’s age, growth potential, and the degree of curvature. Management ranges from monitoring and preventive measures to surgical interventions designed to correct curvature, preserve mobility, and reduce pain.
