Scoliosis, amd Kyphosis?
What is Scoliosis, and Kyphosis?
Can anything be done for this? Are the braces any good? I was told by my ortho that surgery was not an option. Would physical theraphy do any good? I also have heart problems so that just muddies the matter :(.

Scoliosis is a medical condition in which a person's spine is curved from side to side, and may also be rotated.It is a painful condition in adults.Kyphosis is hunch back.It is a curvature of the upper (thoracic) spine. It can be either the result of bad posture (slouching) or a structural, muscular abnormality in the spine.
Hope it helps.Take care and regards.
