It may develop during childhood or adolescence and can be caused by factors such as genetics, muscle imbalances, or other underlying medical conditions. The severity of scoliosis affects individuals differently, with some experiencing only mild discomfort and others facing significant physical limitations.<\/p><p>The impact of scoliosis on daily life can be profound. Individuals may suffer from chronic pain, limited mobility, and challenges in performing daily activities, which can reduce their overall quality of life. Basic tasks like standing, sitting, or walking may become increasingly difficult and exhausting, potentially affecting one&#8217;s ability to work and earn a living.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image
