Scoliosis
-It is curve in the spine in which the spine is normally straight. Signs of scoliosis can include uneven shoulders, uneven waist, or a lenience to one side or another.
-Scoliosis can be caused by a numerous or reasons. It can be caused by an abnormal bone present at birth. It.can be a result of abnormal nerves or muscles in the body. A traumatic injury can causes chili ossified and other unknown reasons.
-Scoliosis can be treated by wearing a brace can help treat scoliosis, if the curve of the spine is 25-40 degrees. Surgery is another option which does not totally fix the curve of the spine, but helps the pain. Other treatments include electrical stimulation, and exercise programs can help scoliosis.

Ankylosing spondylitis (Aka, Bechterew's disease) is an inflammitory arthritic condition of the spine and major joints.
The condition can eventually cause the vertebra to fuse together, resulting in a permanent hunched position. Sometimes, the ribs can affected, which can make it difficult to breathe deeply.
To be diagnosed, an MRI or X-ray is needed to see the affected area.
Treatments for spondylitis are not necessarily for curing the disease, rather than making the patient more comfortable. Most of the time, surgery is only an option if there is permanent damage to a bone that can be replaced.

-Medications such as cyclobenzaprine (Amrix, Fexmid)
Therapy:
Your doctor or physical therapist can help you learn range-of-motion and stretching exercises to maintain joint flexibility, and strengthening exercises to make your muscles more stable.
Surgical and other procedures:
-Joint injections; Corticosteroids
-Radiofrequency denervation
-Electrical stimulation

Club Foot is a deformity in which the sole of the foot cannot be placed flat on the ground. It is often the result of polio. It is a fairly common birth defect and half of the newborn babies that have club foot generally have it in both feet.👟👞
Though the cause in unknown, doctors say some factors include genetics and the environment of the pregnant mother before the baby is born.👶🏽🍼
Doctors begin treatment on the newborn around two weeks after its birth. The goal is to prevent any complications before they are able to walk. Due to the flexibility of newborn babies, doctors will stretch the baby's foot to the correct position, cast it, and then reposition it once a week. In severe cases, surgery may be necessary. 🚑🏥

Discitis is the inflammation between the intervertebral discs of the spine. Discitis can be caused by a bacterial or viral infection, or also an autoimmune disease. Anything that may cause an infection and leads to inflammation can cause discitis to occur. After being diagnosed with discitis a doctor will usually prescribe an antibiotic, steroid, or an anti-inflammatory, or a combination of all three reduce inflammation, pain, and to get rid of the bacteria/virus.

What is Bursitis😱?
**Inflammation of the fluid-filled pads (bursae) that act as cushions at the joints.💪🏽
How do you get it?🤔?
**An injury can irritate the tissue inside the bursa and cause inflammation. Doctors say that bursitis caused by an injury usually takes time to develop. The joints, tendons, or muscles that are near the bursae may have been overused. Most commonly, injury is caused by repetitive movements.🏋🏄
What are the symptoms🤕?
**Pain in elbow, arm, hip, joints, knee, and shoulder when moving around❌
Are there any treatments🤒?
**Bursitis can be treated in a number of ways, including:
* Avoiding activities that aggravate the problem🚴🏼⛹🏊

What is it? Spina Bifida is a birth defect. It is when the bones of the spine do not form right around the spinal cord.
How do you get it? The exact reason for Spina Bifida is not currently known. Scientist Think that the cause is either genetic or the environment. If the woman is either over weight or has diabetes it is likely for the child to be born with Spina Bifida.
Treatment/cures: Most children with Spina Bifida do not need any treatment for this specific disorder. Although, the child may need to attend visits to see an occupational therapist which will allow them to work with someone, if needed. If the child has serve Spina Bifida it may require surgery. The child will have surgery to correct the spine to make it more straight rather than curved.

Tendinitis is the inflammation of a tendon, which is a thick cord that attaches muscle to bone. This commonly affects the shoulders, biceps, hands, wrists, thumbs, and calves.

Tendinitis is caused by sports injuries, repetitive movements, bad posture or walking habits, stress on soft tissue from an abnormal or poorly positioned joint or bone, some types of arthritis and related conditions, metabolic conditions like diabetes, and side effects from certain medications.

Tendinitis may go away over time. If not, then you may use rests and splints, use hot and cold therapy, over-the-counter (OTC) and prescription medicines, corticosteroids injections, physical therapy, or occupational therapy.

What it is?
- Pott disease or Pott's disease is a form of tuberculosis that occurs outside the lungs whereby disease is seen in the vertebrae. Tuberculosis can affect several tissues outside of the lungs including the spine, a kind of tuberculous arthritis of the intervertebral joints.

How do you get it?
- Tuberculosis begins in the lungs when you inhale air that contains Mycobacterium tuberculosis, or the bacteria that causes TB. This can develop into Pott's Disease if the infection spreads from the lungs to the spine. Mtb infects the joints of the spine, causing a form of spinal arthritis.

How do you treat it?
- Pharmacologic therapy and/or surgery

What is it?
- a medical condition in which the bones become brittle and fragile from loss of tissue, typically as a result of hormonal changes, or deficiency of calcium or vitamin D.
How do you get it?
-For instance, a decrease in estrogen at menopause is one cause. There is also a genetic component. If your mother or grandmother had osteoporosis, the chances are higher that you will develop it, too.
Eating a diet that's low in calcium, getting little exercise, and smoking cigarettes can also increase your chances of getting osteoporosis. It's important to know all you can about what causes osteoporosis. Then you can take preventive steps to stop this disease and lower your risk of bone fractures.
Treatment-
Osteoporosis treatments include the “basic CDE’s” -- calcium(C), vitamin D (D), weight-bearing exercise (E), prevention of Falls (F), and bone-friendly medicines.

*Symptoms include fractures, low blood cell production, and loss of cranial nerve function causing blindness, deafness, and/or facial nerve paralysis. individuals may experience frequent infections of teeth and the bone in the jaw.
*The drug Interferon Gamma-1b (Actimmune) halts the progression of osteopetrosis.

- Leukemia is a malignant progressive disease in which the bone marrow and other blood-forming organs produce increased numbers of immature or abnormal leukocytes. These suppress the production of normal blood cells, leading to anemia and other symptoms.
- There is no real reason of how you can get it. It is just a person who suffers from an abnormal production of blood cells, generally leukocytes (white blood cells)
- Treatment is highly variable. For slow-growing leukemias, treatment may include monitoring. For aggressive leukemias, treatment includes chemotherapy that's sometimes followed by radiation and stem-cell transplant.
