Scoliosis: By Definition

Scoliosis cannot be encapsulated by a 9-letter word and a one sentence definition - it is an experience. But, scoliosis lifestyle aside, here's a breakdown of scoliosis, root by root.

scoliosis
[skoh-lee-oh-sis, skol-ee-]
n.
an abnormal lateral curvature of the spine.
from the Greek word skolíōsis a bending

Scoliosis is hard to define, and while our spines might be "abnormally curved", it's important to remember that we are bent, not broken! :)
