Scoliosis
Thoracic Curve

The Thoracic curve is one of the most common Scoliotic curves. It affects the upper spine and usually curves to the right side of the body.

The vertebrae experience severe rotation with this curve, which results in rib abnormalities and very rarely, cardiopulmonary dysfunction. A right Thoracic curve is usually accompanied by smaller curves both above and below the largest curve.

One of the most common patterns in Idiopathic Scoliosis, 90% occur on the right side.
