Scoliosis is a medical condition in which a person's spine is curved from side to side. Although it is a complex three-dimensional deformity, on an X-ray, viewed from the rear, the spine of an individual with scoliosis can resemble an "S" or a "?", rather than a straight line.
Scoliosis is typically classified as either congenital (caused by vertebral anomalies present at birth), idiopathic (cause unknown, sub-classified as infantile, juvenile, adolescent, or adult, according to when onset occurred), or secondary to a primary condition.
Secondary scoliosis can be the result of a neuromuscular condition (e.g., spina bifida, cerebral palsy, spinal muscular atrophy, or physical trauma) or syndromes such as Chiari malformation.

My BF growing up had it and wore a brace from her armpits down to her hips until she was @ sixteen. Had to wear it 12 hours a day. Really sucked for her.

Looks painful.

I'm not sure which condition is worse in the 3rd pic. The S curve or the sagging nuts.

Person in first pic. would have been very painful as well as other conditions of organs being compressed (lungs, liver ,intestines & more) on one side as to the other.

Braces and exercises when minor surgery and braces when more severe.

your cardiac output will likely be in peril long before your liver or intestines will.
