This condition can affect people of all ages, but it most commonly develops during the growth spurt just before puberty. Scoliosis can cause a variety of symptoms, including back pain, uneven shoulders or hips, and noticeable asymmetry of the spine. Early recognition and a proactive approach can significantly reduce the risk and impact of scoliosis.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped
