Types of Scoliosis * Thoracic Scoliosis – a sideways curve located in the middle (or thoracic) portion of the spine* Thoracolumbar Scoliosis – when your curvature includes the middle-back portion of the spine and the lower-back portion of the spine.* Lumbar – a sideways curve in the lower portion of the spine.* Double Curve – typically involves a right thoracic curve on top and a left lumbar curve on bottom.
