Rotatory Scoliosis

04-13-2005, 09:28 AM

Is there a difference between rotatory scoliosis and regular scoliosis? Does everone with scoliosis have a hump on their back? I appreciate any information. I am still learning so much.

Thanks,
Becky

Hi Becky...

I'm not positive, but I think everyone with moderate to severe scoliosis has some rotation in their spine. Rib humps are much larger in thoracic curves than in lumbar curves.

Linda
