Normal Spine vs Scoliosis: Anatomical Comparison Guide #248115 (License: Personal Use)

The image displays two full-spine anatomical models viewed from the posterior perspective: on the left, a normal spine with natural cervical, thoracic, and lumbar curves in the sagittal plane but no lateral deviation; on the right, a spine with scoliosis featuring a pronounced C- or S-shaped lateral curvature, vertebral rotation, and rib cage asymmetry. Both models include the skull, pelvis, and sacrum to demonstrate how spinal deformity affects overall posture and alignment.

Used in orthopedic, chiropractic, and physical therapy educational materials, patient brochures, and health websites to explain scoliosis diagnosis and impact. Matches user intent for understanding spinal anatomy, recognizing symptoms, or researching treatment options.
