Pediatric Scoliosis Fort Lauderdale
-
Indeed, a young backbone, at what is sometimes a promising sign of straightness and strength, may instead develop into a slight but significant "S" or "C" shape, such a condition recognized as Pediatric Scoliosis Fort Lauderdale. Imagine a delicate sapling that grows, naturally aiming skyward, but is instead leaning, ever so slightly, to one side. This really seems to describe this spinal curving that often comes about during the growth spurts of childhood and adolescence. It's a slow, sometimes-noticeable shift in which the vertebrae, the components of the backbone, slowly rotate and drift from their original alignment. This might become apparent as uneven shoulders, a protruding rib cage, or possibly even an asymmetrical waistline, all of which slowly but surely affect the patient's natural symmetry.
