Best answer

Causes of Scoliosis: Scoliosis may be due to many reasons but the main reasons are diseases in the joints of bones, under-developed legs, infantile paralysis, rickets, etc. It may also be due to carrying heavy loads on one shoulder, unhealthy conditions, like inadequate lighting arrangement, unsuitable desks, partial deafness and wrong standing posture. It may be caused by congenital or acquired abnormalities of vertebrae, muscles or nerves.

Scoliosis can be remedied by performing following exercises:

  1. Bending exercise should be performed in opposite side of the ‘C’ shaped curve.
  2. Hold the horizontal bar with hands and let your body hang for some time.
  3. Hold the horizontal bar with your hands and swing your body to the left and right side.
  4. To swim by using breaststroke technique.
