Scoliosis is a medical condition in which a person’s spine has a curvature that is abnormal or unusual. This curve can take the shape of an “S” or a “C” and can be either mild or severe. Scoliosis can occur in people of any age, but it is most commonly diagnosed in children and teenagers

Kyphosis is a condition in which the spine has an excessive outward curve, causing a hunchback or rounded posture. Kyphosis can be caused by birth defects, abnormal growth of the vertebrae, or by poor posture.
