Were you looking for information about Scoliosis? Skoliose is a common misspelling of scoliosis.
Scoliosis is a disorder in which a person's backbone is curved from side to side. The cause of the condition is unknown in most cases, but some people may have a curved spine due to a disease, infection, injury, or birth defect. Out of every 1,000 children, three to five of them will develop spinal curves that are considered large enough to require treatment. Various treatment options are available for scoliosis, including bracing, surgery, and observation.
