Levoscoliosis is a type of scoliosis where the spine curves to the left. When the outer edge (convex side) of the curve also bends to the left, it's specifically referred to as levoconvex scoliosis, according to the Scoliosis Reduction Center. This means the spine curves in a "C" shape, with the curve's outer edge pointing towards the left side.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
• Levoscoliosis:
The general term for scoliosis where the spine curves to the left.
• Levoconvex Scoliosis:
A specific type of levoscoliosis where the curve's outer edge (convex side) is also on the left.
• Causes:
Levoscoliosis can be caused by various factors, including idiopathic scoliosis (no known cause), congenital scoliosis (present at birth), and neuromuscular scoliosis (related to muscle or nerve conditions)
