AbstractIn human body, average of 33 separate vertebrae of the spinal column is sorted and connected to each other in a row. The primary task of this column is to support the head, chest and abdominal organs and form a stable and strong sheath to the spinal canal where the medulla spinal passes through. Spinal column of a new born baby is straight, but after the baby starts to hold his head, cervical lordosis is formed. After the baby starts to sit and stands up, thoracic kyphosis, lumbar lordosis and sacral kyphosis develops. Although, normal physiological curves of spine is normal, deviations from the front or rear view is considered pathological. Scoliosis is characterized as lateral deviation, the reduction in sagittal slope and axial rotation. Scoliosis can also be defined as the deviation of the normal vertical line, deviating more than 10 degrees, as seen in X-ray. All treatment methods used in the treatment of scoliosis aims to perform physically normal, balanced, painless and a stable backbone. Although, the treatment of Scolyosis is performed in several different ways, further studies are still being conducted. Key words: Scoliosis, osteogenesis, spine
