escoliosis
anomalías posturales de la columna vertebral en las que la columna vertebral tiene tres curvaturas diamentionales
AI overview
Scoliosis is a condition where the spine curves abnormally to the side, forming an S or C shape, and while mild cases often cause no problems, severe cases can interfere with breathing and movement. In adults, scoliosis typically causes pain that can worsen over time, and in some people the curve worsens progressively, potentially affecting their daily life and functioning.

La escoliosis (en griego: skoliōsis, de skolios, "torcido") es la curvatura de la columna vertebral, que se presenta en forma de "S" o de "C". Generalmente se clasifica en congénita (causada por anomalías vertebrales presentes al nacer), idiopática (de causa desconocida, sub-clasificada a su vez como infantil, juvenil, adolescente o adulto según la fecha de inicio se produjo) o neuromuscular (síntoma secundario de otras enfermedades, como la espina bífida, parálisis cerebral, atrofia muscular espinal o un trauma físico). La escoliosis afecta a aproximadamente 7 millones de personas en los Estados Unidos.
