Looking for the best mid back scoliosis treatment specialist? At Drlendino we provide the complete treatment of mid back scoliosis in Hicksville. The mid-back is called the thoracic spine which contains 12 vertebrae. Our ribs attach to these vertebrae. Besides protection of the organs, the ribs give our mid-back more rigidity. Thus, it is not injured as often or as severely as the neck and lower back which is more freely movable. Mid Back Scoliosis is a sideways or lateral curvature of the spine. As the curve progresses laterally, so does the rotation of the vertebrae. It has a genetic predisposition and is more common in females. In females, the onset of menses is important in scoliosis patients as it signifies the termination of the rapid growth phase during adolescence. If a scoliotic curve gets too large, braces or surgery may be performed. Very large curves may interfere with heart and lung function.
