The spinal curvatures are important for balancing the body and it helps us to stand upright. If any one of the curves becomes too large or small, our posture may appear abnormal. There are three main types of spinal curvature disorders, viz: scoliosis, kyphosis and lordosis. Among these, scoliosis is the common one. Scoliosis is a lateral curvature of the spine that occurs most often during the growth spurt just before puberty. While going through Ayurveda literature, we see the word Kubja, and is a common term used by Acharyas to describe a hump-like appearance. He was given ayurveda medication internally and panchakarma procedures were done at the IP level. There was a marked improvement in the symptoms, which helped to improve his quality of life. This study is intended to explain scoliosis, diagnosis and treatment in ayurvedic aspects.
