Third, is scoliosis common idiopathic scoliosis is the most common scoliosis, with an incidence of 1.46 to 1.7%. It is more common in girls, with a male-to-female ratio of about 1:4. Adolescents are common, generally at the age of 10-16 years, because adolescents are growth spurts, when scoliosis develops more rapidly. Fourth, what are the hazards of scoliosis general scoliosis will be manifested as abnormal appearance, back unevenness, cardiopulmonary dysfunction, low back pain and psychosocial disorders, and in heavy cases may even cause paralysis. In general, idiopathic scoliosis develops faster during youth development. Most congenital scoliosis will develop, generally in the first two years of life and accelerated during puberty. Therefore, it is more important to pay attention to the presence of scoliosis at that age. Sixth, how to detect scoliosis early when children wear fewer clothes, if the child has scoliosis, can be easily detected. Common manifestations include: unequal shoulders and an uneven back.

Bracing is used to correct scoliosis through external forces and is generally 60-75% effective. However, patients tend to resist after wearing braces, so students should not discriminate against them and should care more about her. If the development of scoliosis is more severe, usually the doctor will recommend surgery.
