Generally speaking, scoliosis is judged by physical examination and X-ray films of spine.

Scoliosis means that one or several segments of the spine bend from the midline of the body to the side on the coronal plane, forming a curvature spinal deformity, which is usually accompanied by the rotation of the spine and the increase or decrease of kyphosis or lordosis on the sagittal plane. At the same time, there are uneven left and right ribs, pelvic rotation and tilt deformity, paraspinal ligament and muscle abnormalities. It is a symptom or X-ray sign, which can be caused by many diseases. Scoliosis usually occurs in the cervical spine, thoracic spine or the spine between the chest and waist, and can also occur in the back alone. The lateral protrusion of the spine appears on one side of the spine in a "C" shape; Or appear on both sides in an "S" shape. It will reduce the volume of chest cavity, abdominal cavity and pelvic cavity, and also reduce the height.

The lumbar spine is a part of the spine. Generally speaking, the lumbar vertebrae have scoliosis, so the thoracic vertebrae should also have a compensatory scoliosis.

If there is scoliosis, we should first look at what causes it, determine the angle and combine the age of the patient to further decide how to treat it.
