What is the name of a condition when a person's spine is curved in over three dimensions?

Player MR #24193286, I was knocked down by a motor scooter when I was 19 and damaged my spine. At 79 I am certainly paying for it these days.

Arohanui, it depends on the degree of curvature. some we manage with surgery, some with a brace and some we leave alone. if it's complex and affecting organs, I don't think I'd want anyone trying to manage it with yoga alone.

also difficult to cure if you have other bodily injuries

was tested for this but negative

Chicken Webb the drummer suffered from this condition.

I was rejected by the USAF because of scoliosis. Nobody in my circle knew what scoliosis was at the time. My school started checking

When I was in high school, there was a girl in the grade above me that had to wear a back brace. She had it removed when she was in Grade 12. She looked fantastic!

Player Elf Council, I feel for you. I had a herniated disc which was operable fortunately...caused by a nasty fall from a horse way back 1965’ish!

Player Jellybean, I got missed then at school? My spine is slightly curved and it is too late at 77yrs old to straighten it. Fortunately I can still get about okay.

My error...hit wrong answer

The word comes from the Greek word for school (σχολείο). From the connection of scoliosis with bad sitting posture of pupils at schools.

Arohanui, me too thanks i will try yoga
