Rocks are either classified as sedimentary, igneous or metamorphic, depending on the manner in which they were formed. Most rocks encountered in everyday life are sedimentary, although some igneous rocks, such as granite, are also common.
Neuromuscular scoliosis encompasses scoliosis that is secondary to neurological or muscular diseases. This includes scoliosis associated with cerebral palsy, spinal cord trauma, muscular dystrophy, spinal muscular atrophy and spina bifida.
Scoliosis is generally viewed as a lateral curvature of the spine with an axial twist that causes a distortion of the ribs. Current research shows that ideopathic scoliosis is a multifaceted disease that compromises five of the bodyâs systems: digestive, hormonal, muscular, osseous (bones), and neurological. Scoliosis affects the entire skeletal system including the spine, ribs, and pelvis. It impacts upon the brain and central nervous system and affects the bodyâs hormonal and digestive systems. It can deplete the bodyâs nutritional resources and damage its major organs including the heart and lungs.
