Short answer: Scoliosis is a sideways curve of the spine, usually noticed between ages 10 and 15 when growth speeds up. A doctor diagnoses it with an X-ray; depending on the degree, observation, curve-specific exercise, bracing or rarely surgery is planned. Exercise is most effective when started while growth continues.
