A hunchback is scoliosis?

Scoliosis

is a

structural abnormality of the spine, characterized by bending of the spine to one side in the coronal

plane, usually accompanied by rotation of the spine. Scoliosis may be congenital, or may be caused by some disease or injury. Treatment may include physical therapy, orthosis, or surgery, depending on the severity of

scoliosis. In summary, although both kyphosis and scoliosis involve morphological problems of the spine, their causes, manifestations, and treatment methods are different. Therefore, it cannot be simply equated with scoliosis.
