What is Scoliosis?

Recently we noticed that the rear bone of our 12 year-old niece is showing lateral curvature (at pelvis slightly curve to right hand side). After X-ray & checked by orthopaedic doctor, we be told that it's still OK, and said this is named as Scoliosis & the girl is inept to grow higher than present plane (+/- 159 m), then adviced to pilfer X-ray half a year for supervision. No further advice from the doctor.We requirement more information. Please advise, if anybody know and hv experience with Scoliosis. Thank You.

Answer:
I have idiopathic thorastic scoliosis which funds ( unknown cause of curvature of the spine contained by the thorasic area)
They only found out by quirk that I had a curved spine when I hurt my hip at conservatory and had to jump to hospital.
I had to wear a body brace for 6months lone to find it had made it worse and I have to have a spinal fusion and metal rods inserted. I own a perfectly straight hindmost now that I can't bend ( I can bend from the hips but my spine wont curve to shape my shoulders if you see what I mean) and everyone think I do yoga lol. This was 9 years ago. The surgeon said some cases are a complete mystery and at times can be certain.But certainly maintain a straight posture and carrying weight evenly across your put a bet on, like a stocky bag, or carrying a child evenly across your body, will together serve keep your spine as vigorous as possible. Also when picking up heavy things from the ground, bend from the knees.I'd draw from someone to check your spine regularly if your concerned because no one know about my spine until it be too far gone.
Well, scoliosis is a curve in the spine. However, it is the severity that you call for to worry roughly. I am 17 now and my doctors said I have mild forms of scolosis when i was 13 and that it needed to be monitored but thats adjectives. today, there are no problems next to my height and it hasn't artificial me at all
When you enjoy a crooked spine.
I have scoliosis as okay, and was not detected until I be 26. My spine has a sharp curve to the not here causing me to lean to the moved out. I now wear a raise in my shoe i.e. not noticeable. My rear legs doesn't seem to hurt as much very soon since I started wearing the shoe lift.
