The management of scoliosis is complex and is determined primarily by the type of scoliosis encountered: syndromic, congenital, neuromuscular, or idiopathic. [1] Treatment options for idiopathic scoliosis are determined in part by the severity of the curvature and skeletal maturity, which together help predict the likelihood of progression.
[13] [14] Evidence that chiropractic manipulation, dietary supplements, or exercises can prevent the condition from worsening is weak. [2] [15] However, exercise is still recommended due to its other health benefits. [2] Scoliosis occurs in about 3% of people. [5] It most commonly develops between the ages of ten and twenty. [2]
Pictures will need to be of acceptable quality as judged by our medical and technical experts and come with: a) appropriate permission to post the picture(s) and b) information that supports the diagnosis of the disease (such as a biopsy pathology report).

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a disorder in which the spine starts abnormally curving sideways between the ages of 10–18 years old. [1] [2] [3] Generally, AIS occurs during the growth spurt associated with adolescence.
The histological picture involves thinner, weaker attachments of the skin lesion itself to the normal skin – resulting in easier dislodgement. The formation of new blisters upon slight pressure (direct Nikolsky) and shearing of the skin due to rubbing (indirect Nikolsky) is a sign of pemphigus vulgaris, albeit not a 100% reliable diagnosis.

Skin window technique is used in immunology where the top layer of skin is scraped off making it possible to identify the immune response that would occur with a diminished physical barrier in the host, and observe mobilization of leukocytes. [1] It was developed by John Rebuck in 1955. [2] [3]
The skin weighs an average of four kilograms, covers an area of two square metres, and is made of three distinct layers: the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissue. [1] The two main types of human skin are: glabrous skin, the hairless skin on the palms and soles (also referred to as the "palmoplantar" surfaces), and hair-bearing skin. [3]
