What is 18 degree levo-convex scoliosis?

18-degree levo-convex scoliOSis refers to a spinal curvature condition where the spine curves to the left (levo-) with a degree of 18 degrees. This curvature can affect posture and potentially lead to discomfort or complications if it progresses. It is often diagnosed through imaging studies like X-rays and may require monitoring or intervention, depending on the severity and any associated symptoms. Treatment options can include physical therapy, bracing, or, in more severe cases, surgery.
