"Scoliosis is a lateral curvature of the spine curving to the side, and it's any curve that measures 11 degrees or more," said Dr. Carl St. Remy, Pediatric Orthopedic Surgeon at CHKD. St. Remy says scoliosis is a condition that impacts three percent of the population of kids. "No one really knows how they get it, but we do know there is a genetic aspect to it," he said. St. Remy says during COVID-19, small curvatures may have gone unnoticed because as school is virtual, and school screenings are not taking place..
