10 Symptoms of Scoliosis
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #2: Bulge in Side of Chest
Lying internally in the chest area is a collection of organs that are very important to us. These organs are also very delicate, but they are protected by a strong cage made of bone. We call this the ribcage and it helps make up the shape of the upper part of our body.
The shape is usually quite uniform, but scoliosis can cause a significant bulge to form in one side. This can be particularly noticeable in babies and can help in noticing the problem early on. Noticing it early can be very helpful when it comes to treating the condition.
