Back Mid (Thoracic) Scoliosis Treatment
Scoliosis is a curving of the spine. We all have curves in our spines, but scoliosis causes the spine to curve in the wrong direction. The spine curves away from the middle or sideways. A doctor may suspect scoliosis if one shoulder appears to be higher than the other.
