Scoliosis is one of three main types of spine curvature disorders. Like a disease on the spinal curvature twisting and resulting in the sideway curves of the spine. It is defined as a lateral‚ or a side-to-side deviation from the normal frontal axis of the body. Scoliosis is similar to Lordosis‚ which also been named the swayback‚ for example when the spine of a person with lordosis curves significantly inward at the lower back. Kyphosis another characterized by an abnormally rounded upper back (more

most helpful in understanding this new fossil are: the structure of the feet‚ the dating of the fossils‚ and the structure of the vertebra and pelvis. The information presented regarding the structure of the feet and vertebra‚ and the process used to date the fossils is very complete and explained in a simple way that makes it easy to understand. Moreover‚ the foot‚ vertebra and pelvis fossils give a lot of information to understand more about bipedalism in early hominids. A small feature with big implications

It consists of 26 individual bones grouped into five separate regions; The vertebrae‚ twelve thoracic vertebrae‚ five lumbar vertebrae‚ one sacral bone and one coccygeal bone. (Cinnamon L.

Vertebral Compression Fracture (Thoracic) Overview- The spine is made up of bones called vertebrae. A vertebra can crack just like any other bone in the body. When the vertebral body collapses‚ this is called a vertebral compression fracture. These fractures occur more frequently in the thoracic spine (the central portion of the spine)‚ in particular in the lower part. These fractures are generally caused by a condition such as osteoporosis‚ a very hard fall‚ or another type of injury. Causes- The
