Scoliosis is when the spine has abnormal curves.
Children, teenagers and adults can be scoliosis .
There are 3 tips of scoliosis :
*Idiopathic
*Congenital
*Neuromuscular

Some symptoms:
-visible difference on the shoulder blades
-ribs protrude more at one side
-one hip is higher than the other ,causing one leg to be shorter
-waist isn't even

The curvature can be a "C" or "S" shape, but the last one is more common.
Kids or teenagers can wear a brace to stop the scoliosis getting worse. Sometimes surgery is necessary.

A Chiropractic and a Massage Therapist are professionals that can help immensely patients with scoliosis.

* When people were born with a SHORTER LEG LENGTH or this condition happens for trauma, nerve injury, bone loss, etc , the body will try to adjust to walk and stand and this situation can cause scoliosis.

Visiting Old San Juan. This vibrant and historic city was founded in 1521.
Mucha gente !! I could see many tourists and cars on its narrow streets.
Old San Juan has many restaurants with typical food, businesses and I love its architecture and colored houses.
