Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a common spinal disorder that primarily affects adolescents during their growth spurt. It is characterized by a lateral rotation curvature of the spine, typically in an “S” or “C” shape. The exact cause of this condition is still unknown, but it is believed to be influenced by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Symptoms of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis may vary depending on the severity of the curvature, ranging from mild back pain to noticeable changes in posture. Early detection and intervention are essential to prevent further progression of the curve and to minimize potential complications. Treatment options include observation, bracing, and in severe cases, surgery. Regular monitoring and follow-up care are crucial in managing this condition and ensuring the overall well-being of affected individuals.
