  • Q & A on Scoliosis with Dr. Herrera and Dr. Knapp, Pediatric Orthopedic Physicians at Arnold Palmer Hospital

    Scoliosis is a relatively common condition among children and adolescents. It’s important to know that no spine is perfectly flat, but those who are unaffected by scoliosis have a spine that is straight when looking up and down the middle of the back. Likewise, those who are affected by scoliosis have a curve that runs side-to-side, sometimes resembling the letters “S” or “C,” instead of the letter “I.”

    What exactly is scoliosis and how common is it?

    Scoliosis is a condition of the spine where your back may become curved with time. Not only is the spine curved, but it also rotates on its axis, which leads to the famous “rib hump,” noticed on the spine screenings done at school, or during yearly physicals administered by primary care physicians.
