CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY All spines have curves. Some curvature in the neck‚ upper trunk and lower trunk is normal. Humans need these spinal curves to help the upper body maintain proper balance and alignment over the pelvis. However‚ when there are abnormal side-to-side (lateral) curves in the spinal column‚ we refer to this as scoliosis. Scoliosis occurs most often during the growth spurt just before puberty. While scoliosis can be caused by conditions such
