What are the consequences of scoliosis?
The degree of scoliosis ranges from mild to severe. In many cases, scoliosis may be barely noticeable. Scoliosis may result in excessive fatigue and lower back pain. As the curvature becomes more pronounced, scoliosis can have significant cosmetic effects — an individual may appear stooped or deformed, and clothes will not fit properly. In extreme cases, the curvature may become so severe that it interferes with the normal functioning of the heart and lungs.
