Scoliosis is a curvature of the spine to the right or left, often accompanied by spinal rotation. The degree of such curvature is expressed by the angle formed by the vertebra at the upper and lower vertebrae of the scoliosis. It is inconspicuous in the case of mildness, but is apparent when it exceeds 15 degrees. And the height of the scapula will be different. And when bent forward, the ribs on the spine on the convex side of the spine bulge backward, and when it becomes severe, not only the appearance problem but also the respiratory function decreases due to the deformity of the rib cage, and the cardiac function decreases. In general, if it exceeds 20 degrees, treatment is required.
