What does it mean to have multiple scoliosis?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
See below: Scoliosis can be present at multiple parts of the spine (for example - cervical, thoracic, lumbar). The term "multiple scoliosis" is not used frequently by clinicians. Did you mean multiple sclerosis or multiple scoliosis?
